In 15 minutes Vaclovas K., a resident of Neveronių Pabiržės Street, spoke about the “miracles” taking place in the Kaunas district municipality. According to Vaclovas, “the entire epic is already being received in the Kaunas district with garbage collection, even the courts took place, having decided that “Kauno švara” should transport garbage throughout the Kaunas district.

According to the complainant, until April 1 of this year in the Kaunas district, depending on the southern or northern part of the district, two companies collected garbage and household waste: Kauno švara and Ekonovus, but from April 1 The entire Kaunas district was served by the single. “Kauno švara”. He provided residents who had previously served Ekonovus with their own garbage containers.

According to Vaclovas, Ekonovus had to collect his garbage containers, but he did not do so from all the courtyards. Both the new container “Kauno švaros” and the container “Ekonovus” that had not been removed remained standing on the properties of the Vaclovas house.

“It was marketed in one place, not another, so those containers are placed in front of people as unnecessary. We still have to store them, even if we don’t use them. You will go out on the street, you still won’t find it,” said the author of the complaint.

On June 13, after more than two months, he unexpectedly received the invoices sent by Ekonovus: he is asked to pay 27.5 euros for the container rental service provided in May at the end of June. Although the containers are not used, the company did not take them out, residents were asked to pay, and for some reason only in May, in April, such an invoice did not reach people.

“But the most interesting thing is that those from whom Ekonovus containers were collected in April also received invoices for May. We wrote to collect that container, do not take it, just invoiced. When we received the invoice, I called Ekonovus, but no one answered or the line was busy, “asked Vaclovas K.

According to him, the residents of Karmėlava and Ramučiai also received such invoices. Almost all were Ekonovus clients until April 1.

15 minutes The journalist addressed Ekonovus and the municipality of Kaunas district with an inquiry. The latter distributed the comment publicly on Tuesday.

According to the report, the mayor of the Kaunas district municipality, Valerijus Makūnas, defending the public interest, presented Tuesday to the Kaunas Regional Prosecutor the possibility of “Ekonovus” possible illegal actions, his lack of honesty towards the population, bills fraudulently issued.

“These days, the Municipality of the Kaunas District has received information and complaints from the elderly and residents of the Kaunas District (by phone, email, facebook) that Ekonovus has written and sent to the residents to pay the bills for the containers not returned and the alleged debts for the disposal of waste. The company Ekonovus promised to collect garbage containers from the population before April 1. The municipality has repeatedly asked and urged that it do so as soon as possible, but so far the company it has not assembled all the containers. However, the company continues to issue invoices to the residents for the services provided, which it does not have the right to provide, and even more to demand payment for their services, “says the Kaunas district government.

According to the municipality of Kaunas district, the procedure for the collection and transportation of municipal waste, which has been in force in the Kaunas district for many years, has changed since April 1 of this year: a local fee has been introduced for the collection and management of municipal waste. As of the specified date, UAB Kauno Švara provides municipal waste collection and transportation services throughout the territory of the Municipality of Kaunas District.

Until now, Kauno Švara and Ekonovus have provided waste management services in the territory of the municipality of Kaunas district (according to the territories specified in the agreements: north and south parts).

Kaunas district management promises to inform residents about the course of the investigation.

The editorial office did not receive a response from Ekonovus to the request. We will update this post upon receipt of the comment.

It is true that residents of the Kaunas district are outraged not only by this, but also by the rising price of waste disposal.

“The municipality must explain to residents on what basis the service became more expensive after the garbage truck was changed, although we were informed that conditions will remain the same and prices will not change,” asked one resident after the distributed report by the Kaunas district municipality.

She was not the first to ask the government a question. Another woman shared the authorities’ response to the following request: “The Price Commission does not regulate the prices of waste. It is affected by the sharp increase in waste management costs (disposal and incineration). Such a trend is throughout the Kaunas region and Lithuania. “

According to some residents, the cost of waste disposal has almost doubled.

“Very interesting situation … because when they call the Public Service Center, they don’t have information about Ekonov’s actions and money transfers. We paid Ekonovus for a year, we didn’t even think in January that everything would change. The public service center is requesting payment. Is this how it is understood? People are not to blame. And it is unfair that companies cannot talk to each other. “Ekonovus” does not even pick up the phone. We need to fight in some way to recover money and power. pay the new company. I hope the municipality can at least talk about the actions of these companies, “expected another resident of the Kaunas district, who had suffered chaos in the garbage collection market.
