Fires: Requests from 18 Communities for Temporary Green Points – State Plans

The Cypriot government is planning to create 20 temporary green points across the country, as well as 50 green kiosks, to address the problem of illegal landfills and prevent fires. So far, 18 communities have submitted requests for the creation of temporary green points. The Department of Environment is reviewing the applications, including requests for the allocation of state or Turkish Cypriot land. At the same time, the existing 29 green points in cities and the surrounding area will be upgraded, with a goal of creating another 11 by 2028. The Union of Communities and the Department of Environment have agreed that the state will cover the costs of the skips at the green points.
