Odvoz

Odvoz is a noun used in Czech and Slovak to denote the act of transporting something away from a location or its removal. It is derived from the verb odvozit (to transport away) and serves as a general term for processes that move, remove, or dispose of items, materials, or waste.

Common contexts for odvoz include waste management, relocation, and the removal of goods. Odvoz odpadu refers to waste collection and disposal, typically organized by municipalities or private waste-management companies and governed by local regulations and standards for handling and transport. Odvoz nábytku or odvoz stavebního odpadu describe the removal of furniture or construction debris, often offered as a moving, disposal, or recycling service. Odvoz vozidel can refer to the removal or towing of vehicles, for example after breakdowns or auctions. In waste-management discourse, the term is frequently used alongside svoz, another term for collection.

Practices and pricing vary by locality and service type. Municipal services may provide scheduled curbside pickups, bulk-item collection, or drop-off centers, while private firms may offer on-demand or specialized removals. Fees can depend on factors such as volume, weight, distance, or the handling of hazardous or bulky materials. Environmental and road-safety regulations influence how odvoz is conducted, including necessary permits, vehicle standards, and reporting requirements.
