Additionally, the Municipality collects large electrical appliances from homes upon request by residents.
Home Garden Composter
It is a natural process that transforms organic materials, through decomposition, into a rich substance called compost, which acts as a soil conditioner or, in other words, a natural fertilizer valuable for every garden.
The pilot program for Household Composting that the Municipality of Glyfada is implementing is expected to give a significant boost to recycling and source separation of household waste.
The necessary equipment is delivered FREE of charge to the households of our city, as funding for this program was secured in the previous period through European funds (ESPA).

Green Waste Recycling (Branches) (Green Bins)
Pioneering Branch Removal Service by the Municipality of Glyfada!
Thanks to European funding, the Municipality has supplied green waste collection bins and a special vehicle for their transportation. Residents who plan to carry out gardening work at their homes should call 15464 or submit a request through Fix My City at least one day in advance.
The City will provide the bin free of charge, so that cut branches can be placed directly inside and transported for recycling. This approach helps prevent damage to sidewalks, frees cleaning machines for other tasks, and improves the overall efficiency of neighborhood maintenance.
Glyfada is a clean and welcoming city—and every day it becomes even more beautiful.
Green Bins
Green bins are for all other household waste!
Underground Biowaste Collection Bins
The underground waste storage units help improve the area’s appearance. Each underground bin replaces three standard wheelie bins.
