They constantly call and force me to sign a contract on the removal of household waste. I do not want to, because the container is 200 meters from the house, it is difficult for me to go to it.

In fulfillment of Art. 7, item 1 of Art. 25 of the Law of Ukraine "On Housing and Communal Services", an individual consumer is obliged to conclude contracts for the provision of housing and communal services in the manner and in the cases specified by law. In this regard, from January 1, 2020, concluding a contract for garbage removal is mandatory for everyone.
