Lublin is the cleanest city in Poland!
Among the 10 largest Polish cities, Lublin was ranked first in the ‘clean surroundings’ category. A clean city has not only neat and tidy streets, pavements and parks, but also is free of advertising or vulgarity on the walls of buildings as well as has clean air. In a place like this, you live better, healthier and more comfortable. Lublin received a 5.43 rating from the inhabitants on a seven-level scale – the highest of the 10 largest cities in Poland and higher than the national average (5.37).
Recycling in Lublin
In Lublin, a rationalised policy of municipal waste management and residents education has been implemented a long time ago. – The main objective is to increase recovery and recycling, discourage from the creation of wild dumps and the burning of waste in the furnaces. The communal collection system is very well appreciated and accepted, as evidenced by the year-on-year indicators of selectively collected waste. We have built such an effective waste collection system that the temptation to throw out garbage in the public space has been minimised – says Krzysztof Żuk, Mayor of Lublin. – A number of cleaned landfills is also a sign of the fact that the city is doing well: only in 2016, 525 were liquidated. This year, cleanup has already started and we fewer landfills than a year ago has been found now. The city also encourages to report places that require clearing.
Exchange cans and bottles for headphones
There are also interesting initiatives in Lublin that support cleanliness and environmental protection. Those who return PET cans and PET bottles to the special machine will receive receipts with a specified number of points. This leaves less waste to the dump, and residents can exchange points for city branded gifts such as headphones, cups, umbrellas, notepads and beach balls.

#siężyje Ranking
Otodom is the largest online real estate service in Poland. You can find in it plenty of offers from almost every corner of the country. But do the inhabitants of these cities, districts, and towns, are satisfied with the way they live?
The answer to this is the #siężyje Ranking by otodom. Poles were asked how they assess safety, cleanliness and infrastructure in their neighbourhood. What do they think of the neighbours? Is the cost of living a nuisance? How is the commute to work?
Over 140 thousand people filled out the survey. This is the first such widely prepared study in Poland. The results were divided into ten parts, four of which have been revealed so far: ‘safety’, ‘commuting’, ‘well-maintained surroundings’, and ‘clean surroundings’.
