On Friday, a contract for the construction of the new Green was signed at the office of the Larnaca District Government Organisation (DGO). Point is a modern center for the collection, sorting, and temporary storage of waste and materials destined for recycling and reuse. The project is being implemented with financial support from the Recovery and Sustainability Plan and will cost approximately €950,000.
What is Green Point ?
Green Point is a specially equipped point where residents can safely dispose of household waste, such as furniture, electrical appliances, building materials, textiles, and other items that are not suitable for regular containers.
What will be built?
The temporary waste collection point, which has been operating in the Larnaca area, will be completely renovated to meet national standards. The new facility will be part of the official network Green Point of Cyprus.

- Monitoring, video surveillance and fire safety systems.
- Comfortable and safe areas for receiving visitors.

The project’s main goal is to strengthen recycling culture and increase citizen engagement in material recycling. The project will also help:
- reduce the level of unauthorized waste dumping;
- improve processing rates;
- to develop environmental awareness among the population;
- improve the overall environmental situation in the area.
