About Kaunas Regional Waste Management Center
The main function of the Kaunas Regional Waste Management Centre is to implement and operate a regional waste management system covering waste collection, treatment, recycling and disposal throughout the territory administered by municipalities. The Kaunas Regional Waste Management System operates on the basis of the merger and cooperation of county territories. The aim of this cooperation is to manage waste together.
Waste collection sites
Currently, there are 14 large and hazardous waste reception sites (DGASA) and three green waste sites (GPWS) in Kaunas region. The waste reception sites accept household waste other than municipal waste only from residents! 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:
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.
