Sanitation Service

One of the chief competencies of the Municipality, stemming from the Municipalities Law, is the collection, depositing and processing of waste, as well as the protection and improvement of the environment and keeping Nicosia presentable.
 
Since cleanliness and environmental hygiene contribute to improving the quality of life but also safeguard public health, this constitutes a priority for the Municipality and one of its chief challenges.
