While it is encouraging that more and more people know how to deliver their waste properly, during the peak summer season there are often long queues at the sites, which become an unexpected inconvenience for those who arrive. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Peak occupancy is<\/strong> between 11:00 and 15:00 on weekdays, and Saturdays are no exception, so it is recommended to arrive between 11:00 and 13:00.<\/p>\n<p>Opening hours of the courts:<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday-Friday: 10:00-19:00 (Chemijos str. 4E and Vand\u017eiogalos pl. 92B: 9:00-19:00) <\/p>\n<p>Lunch break: 13:00 &#8211; 13:45<\/p>\n<p>Saturday: 9:00-16:00<\/p>\n<p>Closed on Sundays.<\/p>\n<p>On Mondays, only the following sites are open: the Chemijos g. 4E, Jonalaukio g. 7 (Jonava district) and the green waste composting site in Kaunas &#8211; Nemaj\u016bn\u0173 g. 15A.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>How to reduce waiting times:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>choose an off-peak visit &#8211; in the morning or later in the afternoon;<\/li>\n<li>Make sure your waste is sorted beforehand &#8211; it speeds up the whole process;<\/li>\n<li>It is worth calling the site before you go &#8211; staff can give you information on availability and other relevant information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaunoratc.lt\/kontaktai\">www.kaunoratc.lt\/kontaktai<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>As a reminder, waste brought to the sites must be sorted.
