Prague plans two new recycling centres in Zbraslav and Řepy

New, modern collection points for municipal waste are to be built in the Prague districts of Zbraslav and Řepy. The capital is responding to growing demand and aims to shorten disposal routes for residents.

Prague plans to expand its network of recycling centres. Two new facilities are planned in the districts of Zbraslav and Řepy and are intended to provide residents with additional options for disposing of municipal waste free of charge.

According to the city, demand for recycling centres in Prague has been increasing for years. New facilities are therefore to be built primarily in areas where suitable waste disposal options are currently lacking.

“Interest in recycling centres has been increasing over the long term, and the capital must respond to this trend,” said Prague Deputy Mayor Jana Komrsková, who is responsible for environmental and climate policy. The aim is to create modern facilities that are more convenient for residents and can be operated more efficiently by the city.

New recycling centre in Zbraslav

In Zbraslav, the new recycling centre is planned on a site covering a total of 4,957 square metres near the Strakonická/Bartoňova junction. Preparations are currently under way to clear and prepare the site. This work is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. The Prague City Hall’s environmental department and the municipal waste management company Pražské služby are involved in the preparations.

Pražské služby is to be responsible for the technical development of the site and the construction of the necessary infrastructure. The company is later also expected to operate the recycling centre, including staffing, waste removal and further treatment of the waste.

Modern facility in Prague-Řepy

A second recycling centre is planned in the Řepy district. Sites covering a total area of 15,385 square metres are available there. The facility is to be built as a modern recycling centre with a ramp system and modular elements. This is intended to make it easier for residents to drop off waste. At the same time, the city expects more efficient use of the site, greater flexibility and a shorter construction period.

With the two projects, Prague is pursuing its long-term waste management objectives. The additional recycling centres are intended to improve waste disposal infrastructure, promote waste separation and recycling, and at the same time reduce the environmental impact.
