Ēriks Gusevs, Chairman of the Board of CleanR Verso, a subsidiary of AS CleanR Grupa, a construction waste and industrial waste manager, confirms that a fire broke out at the construction waste sorting and recycling center “Nomales”, located at Brīvnieku Street 11 in Rumbula, late on the evening of May 1. Currently, on the morning of May 2, the fire has been localized, and the State Fire and Rescue Service continues to work to eliminate the fire and its consequences.

A 2,000 square meter pile of waste burned at the sorting and recycling center. The State Environmental Service has been informed about the situation.

“At the moment, the fire is localized, the sorting and processing lines, as well as the equipment, are not affected by fire. Thank you to the emergency services for the quick response. It is too early to talk about the causes of the fire at this time, but the most common causes of such cases are electrical equipment thrown into unsorted construction waste, which can catch fire,” informs Ēriks Gusevs, Chairman of the Board of CleanR Verso.
