Everyday life in Cyprus Checked: Changed:
In short
- Who it applies to
- Anyone who needs to get rid of what does not go in the ordinary bin: old furniture and mattresses, appliances, branches, rubble from your own DIY, batteries, medicines, paint.
- What it costs
- Free — for household waste. Waste from shops, workshops, building contractors and farms is not accepted, free or paid.
- How long it takes
- No appointment — you turn up during the site's opening hours. Each site has its own hours, often longer in summer; almost all close on public holidays.
- Where to apply
- The sites are run by your district's local government organisation (Επαρχιακός Οργανισμός Αυτοδιοίκησης, ΕΟΑ), not the municipality. The list, hours and phone numbers are on the district ΕΟΑ's site.
- If your case differs
- Bring it already sorted: furniture separately, appliances separately, paper separately. A mixed bag and kitchen waste are refused everywhere.

Call before you go
Hours change with the season, and the ΕΟΑ sites do not always update them at once: ΕΟΑ Λάρνακας lists two sets of hours split by a slash, the Nicosia network posts them as an image. If you are bringing something unusual, ask about the category too — ΕΟΑ Λεμεσού itself advises this.
