Before Mayor Zdeněk Hřib (Pirates) cut the ribbon, he asked the question: “And you have a rubbish bin?” The first man in the metropolis survived. “Yes, we do,” was the reply, and the workers quickly displayed the basket. The mayor cleaned the basket and the fame could begin. The head of THMP, Tomáš Jílek, also opened a new shelter with him.
The current contract for the furniture provider with JCDecaux expired at the end of June this year and the capital did not extend it. The new elements will require 689 million crowns, they will be installed in two years. The contract with the supplier is concluded by the municipal company Technologie of the Capital City of Prague, which has also prepared a tender and will ensure complete engineering and installation of the new furniture on its own.
