Davit Songhulashvili, Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, has visited a waste transfer station in Ambrolauri Municipality to see how it operates. Gocha Enukidze, the MP responsible for Ambrolauri, Oni, Tsageri, Lentekhi and Mestia, and Papuna Margvelidze, the State Representative in Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti, accompanied the minister.

During the visit, the minister was briefed on how the station works, how waste is transferred and transported, and on measures taken to develop waste management infrastructure in the region.

The region has been granted “green status thanks to the modern transfer station, which meets international standards and serves Ambrolauri and Oni municipalities.

“Having such a modern transfer station in Ambrolauri and Oni greatly simplifies waste management and helps reduce the negative impact on the environment. We aim to gradually develop infrastructure in the country that meets modern standards, improving the efficiency of waste management, protecting the environment and creating a safe environment for the public,” Songhulashvili said.

The Solid Waste Management Company of Georgia is continuing to develop modern waste management infrastructure. The initiative aims to enhance the waste management system, reduce its environmental footprint, and improve living conditions nationwide.

Deputy Minister Solomon Pavliashvili, Mikheil Gogolidze, director of the Solid Waste Management Company of Georgia, and local government officials also joined the minister at the station.
