About Kaunas Regional Waste Management Center
The Public Institution Kaunas Regional Waste Management Center was established on March 2, 2005, with the aim of creating a coherent and sustainable waste management system in the Kaunas region.
The project “Creation of the Kaunas Regional Waste Management System” was allocated 63.6 million LTL from EU and national funds, of which the EU Cohesion Fund financed 75%. The project duration was 2004-2009.
Waste Sites
Currently, there are 15 large and hazardous waste acceptance sites (DGASA) and three green waste sites (ŽAKA) operating in the Kaunas region. Household waste, except municipal waste, is accepted only from residents at the waste acceptance sites! Waste is accepted free of charge.

Giveaway Centers
Kaunas RATC contributes to the item-sharing initiative and invites residents to bring items they no longer need, but are still usable, to the Giveaway Centers set up at large waste collection sites, instead of discarding them. This way, they can pass them on to a new owner or take items they need.
Accepted at the Giveaway Center:
Items must be free of functional defects, as clean as possible, tidy, and suitable for use.
Not accepted at the Giveaway Center:
These items are accepted as waste at the large waste collection site.
The sharing service is free of charge for receiving and issuing items. There is no reservation of items. There is no limit to the number of items delivered. A maximum of three items per person can be taken at a time. For unusually large quantities of items to be accepted at the Outlet, please contact the site staff in advance.
