Green Points – Your Stop for Special Waste
Recycling centers called Green Points. Every major city has one. Free drop-off for electronics, batteries, oil, chemicals, tires, bulky waste. Similar to German Wertstoffhof but less regulated.
What Goes Where
Green Points: electronics, batteries, oil, paint, chemicals, tires, furniture, paper. Supermarkets: small batteries. Pharmacies: expired medications. Google "Green Point [city] Cyprus" for locations.
The section on "Green Points – Your Stop for Special Waste" was the most valuable for us. We couldn't find this information anywhere else before our move. It saved us a lot of time and hassle.
