KCC (Kouklia Community Council) has arranged for 2 skips to be positioned at the water reservoirs for bulk item disposals. This is specifically for old or unused household items
(furniture, appliances etc...) and does not include garden refuse or construction refuse. Garbage refuse is already collected via the yellow KCC bags which can be purchased at the KCC offices.

Construction refuse is the obligation of each individual owner and as such, should be disposed of directly by the owners.

The skips will be located at the water reservoirs between the 20th and 30th of each month. We hope that you will find this free service offered by KCC useful. Should you have any queries, please contact the
KCC.
