Several types of waste are collected from hospitals - one is household waste, this is the same household waste that is collected from people's homes. The collection of household waste from hospitals has not been stopped, it continues. As for hospital waste, each hospital has rules and contracts with companies for the removal of this type of waste. The problem is that once again, the Sofia Municipality at the entrance to the Waste Processing Plant found that there are hospitals that allow themselves to throw hospital waste - lawyers, bandages, blood, into the household waste containers, and not into the specialized containers. This was said by the leader of "Save Sofia" and municipal councilor Boris Bonev in the studio of "Denyat ON AIR".
He recalled that a few months ago similar types of bags with hospital waste were found.
"This is a regular practice of hospitals. Today, the deputy mayor for ecology mentioned that usually, when they are caught, there is a week or two of lull in which they decide not to throw hospital waste into the household containers, but this is resumed as a measure. There is a clear reason for this - it is expensive to recycle hospital waste. A few months ago, we saw similar types of bags from "Pirogov". I don't think there is a danger of an epidemic, the bigger problem is the control in hospitals, it needs to be tightened", Bonev added on Bulgaria ON AIR.
According to him, the Ministry of Health and the Regional Inspectorate for Environmental Protection and Water Resources must control and monitor how hospital waste is utilized.
"I will not comment on Silvi Kirilov's words, but Kostadin Angelov has joined the hysterical chorus of GERB, as this is an extremely popular PR strategy. GERB poured 350 million euros into this plant and it did not function for many years. When you know that you are to blame, your only form of defense is the attack. We have no concerns about the extraordinary meeting. In the last few weeks, the RIEW has carried out 5 inspections and none of them have found a problem," emphasized the municipal councilor.
Bonev explained that the photos circulated are of baled RDF fuel, prepared for transportation to the plants.
"GERB failed to mention that in their time, not RDF, but unprocessed garbage went to the storage cells and was buried with soil to hide the fact that the plant does not process waste. This is another case in which GERB, with a lot of emotion and hysteria, especially from Anton Hekimyan, their inability and 15 years of theft - to try to transfer them to us. This will not happen. Currently, the plant is working better," the guest is categorical.
The leader of "Save Sofia" is of the opinion that there are an extremely large number of illegal dumps.
"This is an absolute and serious mafia. The Sofia Inspectorate is making enormous efforts to deal with this problem, as are the district mayors. We are talking about people who pull out pistols and machine guns against inspectors. It turned out that they have informants in the police, they have informants everywhere. It is extremely important that the Ministry of Interior cooperates. The whole of Sofia will soon turn into one huge dump," he added.
His party is calling on Sofia Mayor Vasil Terziev to restart the competition for the chief architect of Sofia.
