Today, Lviv\u2019s main Christmas tree, installed on December 5 in front of the Opera House, was dismantled and transported to the composting station at 13 Plastova Street. The tree will be turned into organic fertilizer for plants in city parks and squares. According to Roman Yatsykovych, project manager of LKP “Lvivspetskomuntrans,” this initiative demonstrates proper ecological waste management.<\/p>\n
In the morning, workers from the Halytsky District removed the fencing around the tree, followed by LKP “Lvivsvitlo” staff dismantling decorations and lights. The tree was then sawed into parts by LKP \u201cZelenyi Lviv\u201d and \u201cLvivspetskomuntrans.\u201d The trunk will be used as firewood for greenhouses, while smaller branches were sent for shredding into compost.<\/p>\n
At the composting station, the tree was first weighed, totaling 1,320 kg. The branches were shredded into wood chips, mixed with food waste and leaves, and composted over three months. After screening, the final product will be distributed for city use.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince this compost is highly concentrated, it must be mixed with soil in a ratio of 1:3 or 1:4,\u201d explained Myroslava Bilokur, chief technologist at LKP \u201cGreen City.\u201d<\/p>\n
The tree was a gift to Lviv from the Pidvirny family in the village of Birky, Yavoriv District. The 18-meter-tall tree, which had grown in their yard for 20 years, was donated to bring joy to the city\u2019s residents and visitors.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Lviv continues collecting Christmas trees from residents. Designated collection points near waste container sites include:<\/p>\n
Special vehicles will pick up trees from these locations on January 11\u201313 and 17\u201320. Trees can also be delivered directly to:<\/p>\n
Residents are urged to place trees beside waste bins rather than inside them. The Home for Rescued Animals (24 O. Dovbusha St.) also accepts trees.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
