Online and other platforms for paying garbage removal in Yerevan

YEREVAN, May 20. /ARКА/. The Yerevan City Hall named the platforms through which the capital's residents and business entities can pay for garbage removal.

Thus, payments can be made on the websites - yerevan.am, pay e-community.am, in all branches of Haypost, the EasyPay payment system, in the branches of Armeconombank.

It is noted that the Telcell payment system and other commercial banks of Armenia will soon also connect to the above platforms.

About the new methodology

The new procedure for calculating the fee for garbage removal in Yerevan has been in effect since 2025, leading to an actual increase in tariffs from 7 to 15%. Previously, the fee was calculated based on the number of citizens permanently or temporarily residing in an apartment (house), and since 2025, the calculation is based on the area of ​​the apartment (house).

The average rate for household waste removal in residential buildings was taken as the basis in the amount of 13 drams per 1 sq.m. In accordance with the changes, residents of one-room apartments will pay, on average, 455 drams instead of 400 drams (an increase of 13.75%), two-room apartments - 689 drams instead of 600 drams (an increase of 14.8%), three-room apartments - 975 drams instead of 900 drams (an increase of 8.3%), four-room apartments - 1287 drams instead of 1200 drams (an increase of 7.25%). As for private residential buildings, the increase in payments will amount to 180 drams on average.

It should be noted that the updated information on waste removal payments according to the new methodology became available to Yerevan residents only at the beginning of May (the delay these months was caused by technical reasons).
