The type, exact locations and number of rubbish containers in large parts of Bulgaria's capital have been published online.

Sofia municipality published on March 19 maps that show the locations on rubbish containers in seven of the city's boroughs. The boroughs included are all boroughs where rubbish collection contracts with company Wolf96 ran out and where companies Titan and Chistota Iskar have taken over rubbish collection.

Areas included are Lyulin, Mladost, Ovcha Kupel, Triyaditsa and Vitosha 1, 2 and 3.

In addition to regular rubbish containers, the maps show the locations of recycle containers for glass, paper, cardboard and plastics.

Sofia municipality announced it intended to publish maps of the remaining 20 regions in the city in the foreseeable future.
