Odesa municipality decided to order a report on garbage for a million without an auction

The Department of Municipal Economy of the Odesa City Council has conducted a procurement to determine the company that will be commissioned to develop a report on the morphological composition of solid household waste.

This is reported in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The report should take into account current recycling conditions, as well as the determination of general accumulation rates from relevant sources. The only participant in the procurement in the format of open bidding with special conditions was the limited liability company Center LTD.

According to the YouControl service, the company is registered in Lviv and is owned by Ihor Tsytula and Maria Sushchenko. The company expects to receive UAH 996 thousand for its work.

The company has to submit its report to the city hall by December 31, 2025. The report will determine what the garbage in Odesa consists of and in what proportions it contains plastic, organic waste, cardboard, etc.

Meanwhile, environmental experts currently believe that the Dalnytski Quarries landfill has exhausted its resources and is on the verge of a crisis. Instead, there is currently no alternative to Dalnytsia Quarries around Odesa, and the initiative to build and launch a waste processing plant remains at the level of initiatives and memorandums.

"Dalnytsia Quarries has been in operation since 1968 and has long failed to meet modern environmental standards. The landfill does not have an impervious layer to protect soil and water from toxic substances, and there is no protection against stormwater.

Thejournalists of the Center for Public Investigations tried to find out how the idea of creating a waste processing plant in Odesa is progressing and made an investigative film about it called "No Smell of Own."

In May 2024, it became known that the Dalnytski Karyry landfill, which the Odesa Executive Committee decided to transfer to the balance sheet of Odeskomuntrans in October 2023, was ultimately leased to Clear City, a limited liability company.
