How to Participate

Preparing Waste for Collection
All waste should be prepared for removal the evening before or by 6 a.m. on the day of the “Tīrāja” campaign. Apartment residents should place items next to the waste bins, while private homeowners should place them where containers are typically set out for emptying.
Types of Waste Accepted
The “Tīrāja” campaign allows residents to dispose of various items free of charge, including:
- electrical Equipment: Any type and size, such as hair dryers, printers, refrigerators, irons, and microwave ovens.
- Textiles: Clothing,shoes,and home textiles (curtains,bed linen,tablecloths) should be placed in a bag.
- Glass Packaging: Empty glass bottles and jars should be placed in a box or bag.
- Waste Paper: Dry, unneeded writing paper, catalogs, booklets, newspapers, magazines, books, and paper packaging.
Why recycle Electrical Equipment?
Electrical equipment should not be discarded with regular municipal waste because it contains valuable metals like gold and platinum, and also toxic heavy metals such as mercury, copper, and lead. These materials, along with plastics and glass, can prevent ignition and contaminate groundwater if released into the environment. Cleanr disassembles and sorts the collected equipment for recycling and reuse in production.
Textile Guidelines
Textiles for donation should be clean, dry, and free of mold. Items with minor stains or easily repairable damage are acceptable.
Glass Disposal
