Tenants of 19, 20 and 21 residential buildings on Acharyan street in Yerevan\u2019s Avan administrative district are reporting that garbage in their buildings has not been collected for over a week. \u201cThe dump is overflowing with garbage. I live on the 4th floor, and the refuse chute is jammed up to the 3rd floor. The stink is so horrible we can\u2019t stay indoors; we can\u2019t sleep or open the windows in this heat,\u201d one of the tenants complained to our reporter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The residents have phoned the district administration office, representatives of which advised them to take their protests to the private company responsible for garbage collection.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pay 200 drams each month for every tenant, and we give this money to the district administration. We therefore expect the administration to ensure cleanliness in the area,\u201d another resident argued.<\/p>\n

The tenants also expressed their dismay at Sanitek waste management company\u2019s performance inconsistencies: \u201cIt\u2019s been horrible since they took on the job. For example, last time garbage here was collected a week ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

When contacted by our reporter for comment, a Sanitek spokesperson apologized for the inconvenience and promised that the issue would be dealt with \u201cas soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSanitek began carrying out waste management activities in Yerevan in 2015. Avan district has been added to our schedule only recently, and up until then, garbage collection there was carried out by the district administration. Currently, Sanitek is overloaded with work, so we want to apologize to the tenants. We\u2019ll try to take care of the issue as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
