Solid waste landfill near Chelyabinsk - a solution to the problem and a reason for protests . The landfill is not a landfill! The Ministry of Ecology appealed to the Supreme Court the ban on placing garbage in Poletaevo We will close the solid waste landfill in Poletaevo

For half a year, persistent rumors have been circulating that the city of Chelyabinsk will eventually stop the operation of its landfill and take hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of garbage out of the city. The points where MSW will be stored are named. And these points are located in the suburban Sosnovsky district. The solid waste landfill in Poletaevo is one of them.

As always, the object has supporters, there are opponents. Opponents are united, and for them there are no arguments of a socio-economic nature. They are just against it!

The director of the landfill, Valery Tkachuk, led the delegation to all points of the facility. He explains that from project to today the landfill went through several stages, all Required documents. Entrepreneurs, in particular businessman Alexei Kozhevnikov, who is developing an industrial site near Poletaevo, say that the landfill was built with prospects for the future. This is not just a waste disposal site. it industrial complex in which household waste will be sorted. Such requirements were put before the regional authorities by the president of the country, demanding that from January 1, 2017 household waste ceased to be an environmental disaster.

Vladimir Tkachuk, director of the enterprise, and businessman Alexei Kozhevnikov show the hangar, which has a special unit for sorting waste, for briquetting plastic waste, bins for paper, glass, metal. According to the entrepreneurs, organic residues will be removed to a special storage facility, arranged a kilometer from the industrial site.

It seemed to me that the public had nothing to say against the sorting complex. It exists, it has been tested, there are several briquetted packs with PET bottles, there are cardboard, glass containers, beer and tin cans. The garbage will be brought here, the conveyor will work.

The quarry-type storage facility was built according to the project. The sides and bottom are lined with a special film, drainage outlets, overflow wells are made, a special settling pond is dug. Industrial slabs were laid around the storage facility, and clay sides were poured to facilitate natural drainage. From the slopes facing the waste pit, the water rolls into the pit, through the drains goes into the overflow wells and enters the settling pond. There it can be together with sludge drains or used in circulation to irrigate the place of burial of organic waste.

Alexey Kozhevnikov believes that today the Poletaevo Solid Waste Landfill is one of the few facilities with a cycle of modern and safe for humans and environment technologies.

We have not started working yet, - the entrepreneur says, - We do not know how the organic residues will behave when they are pressed in the pit special equipment to deprive the air gaps and prevent rapid decomposition. We assume that there will be no smell. There will be no danger to water bodies. Sources groundwater we will not pollute, as the coating manufacturer guarantees a very long life of this coating and sufficient resistance to mechanical damage. And each meter layer of organic matter is planned to be covered with a half-meter layer of soil in order to avoid spontaneous combustion. But in order to start working effectively, it is necessary to ensure the volume of processing. For enterprises processing secondary raw materials, our partners, this is very important. For example, PET waste will go to the meal, from which plastic pipes, canisters are made, added to asphalt mixtures. Glass may be used to make tiles.

Next, we talk about the industrial area. How and why were the lands taken out of agricultural use? This question from the leaders social movement I don't understand. Entrepreneur develops industrial production, plans to have investors on its site. Yes, and the landfill itself is considered an industrial facility, and without the transfer of land from one category to another, it is simply impossible to carry out activities. The question would be relevant and understandable if farmers in Poletaevo fought for every piece of sown area. But here, according to the agricultural administration, with grief in half they occupy 66 hectares for vegetables and potatoes.

The director continues to show objects. Leads visitors to the side of the pond, then introduces in detail the premises for employees. By the way, the premises for workers has a locker room, a dryer for outerwear, a toilet, showers, a room for office work, and a rest room.

It seems to be all right. The road has been laid. The map where the work is planned has a lighting line. When importing garbage, there is a weighing and inspection platform.

Dissenters have only one argument: “It stinks, and there is no escape from flies in the summer!” Another answer is why people so diligently struggle with very promising project capable of improving ecological situation in our region, did not follow. How an empty waste bin can “stink” and breed insects remains unanswered. People know better because they live here.

But what about the experts? Here is the opinion of some of them, who have already expressed themselves a dozen times on the topic of the work of the Poletaevsky solid waste landfill. In November, Anna Ustimenko, Director of Ecosolution LLC, and Andrey Smagin, Doctor of Biological Sciences (Ecology), Professor of the Department of Life Safety at SUSU, walked around the test site with a group of journalists. They did not find any flaws in the project and technology. Re-departure public Council The Ministry of Ecology planned in the spring to monitor the disposal of solid waste in the course of the landfill.

Activists of the headquarters of public support of the governor of the Chelyabinsk region took part in the environmental control of a new solid waste landfill in the Sosnovsky district.

As social activists note, the location for the landfill, the village of Poletaevo, was chosen well. The facility is located on lands of industrial use, five kilometers from settlements and four - from the rivers Miass and Birgilda. The distance to the border of the sanitary zone of settlements and technical water bodies is two kilometers.

Public activist Vitaly Bezrukov, who takes part in the environmental control of the headquarters, says that this enterprise should solve the problem for many villages in the Sosnovsky district. It is necessary to get rid of unauthorized and unequipped landfills, place waste centrally at special facilities, and introduce deep processing.

And I agree with that. At all new, planned for construction, and old landfills that exist on the territory of our region, there should be deep sorting, and, if possible, recycling of household waste. The solid waste landfill in Poletaevo can become not only the first industrial site with a new attitude to waste, but also an experimental site for turning waste into income.

Yesterday, these topics were very emotionally discussed on “ round table» in the regional ONF with the participation of a large number of regional and city officials (including the acting Minister of Ecology of the region Ya. Kuprikova), activists and experts. I think that a detailed release from the executive committee of the ONF will soon follow, but here I will give a few considerations based both on the content of the discussion and on personal communication with experts and public figures.

About closing Chelyabinsk landfill It was said for many years that it was supposed to be “finally closed” on January 1, 2018, but the local authorities were not ready for this. Most likely, this situation would have continued for a long time if not for the presidential decree on holding the SCO summit in Chelyabinsk. After that, Governor Dubrovsky categorically demanded that the landfill be closed no later than July 1. However, it turns out that there is no real readiness for this, and the desire to report to the authorities can lead to serious consequences and provoke a long-term social and environmental crisis.

What is the essence of the problem?

The main landfill for Chelyabinsk waste is supposed to be created in the Chishma area, but not only have they not started engineering surveys and construction there (the time frame is 2-3 years at best), but a tender has not yet been held to select a concessionaire, the case is constantly being postponed due to constant proceedings in the OFAS, lawsuits are also likely. Therefore, in fact, the only landfill that the regional authorities are counting on after July 1 is near the village of Poletaevo, in the suburban Sosnovsky district.

However, this was seriously opposed by local residents, their claim is now being considered in court. The fact is that the Poletaevo landfill was previously created for the volume of 22 thousand tons of garbage per year, and now it will have to receive 500 thousand tons Chelyabinsk waste annually. Residents perceive this as an ecological catastrophe threatening them, worse than the one near Moscow.

Some data from the EIA (environmental impact assessment) of the Poletaevskaya landfill that is currently operating were cited: for example, with garbage volumes of 22 thousand tons per year, the content of hydrogen sulfide there may exceed 0.5 MPC (exceeding the concentration of this substance in the air led to that in Volokolamsk residents were given protective masks). But this level of maximum permissible concentration increase at least 20 times if the expected volume of waste from Chelyabinsk arrives there. How can such a project successfully pass an environmental impact assessment?

A deputy from Poletaevo, Yulia Kudashova, also cited other threatening data (including the risks of pollution of the Miass River and drinking water bodies of Chelyabinsk, because the landfill is located a couple of kilometers from the river), all of which are contained in the lawsuit. In this case, it is important that there is still no conclusion of the State Expertise on increasing the capacity of the Poletaevsky test site (expected by the end of April) and it is by no means a fact that it will turn out to be positive. Plus - just started trial. And the Chelyabinsk landfill, we recall, should be closed on July 1. Where will thousands of tons of Chelyabinsk garbage be taken?
As it turns out, the authorities do not have any realistic "plan B" in case Poletaevo cannot accept them.

The possibility of short-term storage of Chelyabinsk garbage (for up to 11 months) at some “preliminary” site in Chishma, voiced by Deputy Minister of Ecology Irina Kharina, timidly pretends to be such a plan, but this is only a hypothetical possibility: it is not clear who and when will build it, if the concessionaire still no (according to expert estimates, the entire process, including approvals, will take at least a year) and where can you urgently get funds for this?

The absolute unavailability of the "Poletaevsky" version was demonstrated by carriers and transport specialists. The head of the Clean Environment Association, Konstantin Smolin, said that from 600 to 1,000 garbage trucks are taken to the Chelyabinsk landfill every day. Are the existing roads ready to accept such a traffic flow in this direction? Experts are sure not.

Jacob Gurevich says thatWhen transporting Chelyabinsk waste to Poletaevo, the “shoulder” of delivery will more than double, and the cycle of the garbage truck will increase by 60%.Accordingly, 60% more transport will be required for garbage disposal. Its purchase will require more than a billion rubles and at least six months of time. An increase in mileage will correspondingly more than double the emissions of trucks.
Besides, bandwidth roads (Blyukher St., M5 and bypass road) are clearly not enough. This will increase traffic jams, further reduce the speed of garbage trucks and require a proportional increase in their number.It will be necessary to build an access road to the landfill in Poletaevo, as the existing primer will not be able to withstand a 25-fold increase in load.
And all this is for the sake of increasing the number of landfills poisoning Chelyabinsk from one to two, the expert says.

Finally, there is one more important consideration. The emergency closure of the Chelyabinsk landfill, which the authorities of the region and the city have not really dealt with all the past years, is being pedaled now because it is necessary to somehow clean up the territory and air of Chelyabinsk before the SCO summit, which will be held in the summer of 2020. However, it may turn out that just this will not happen.

It is in two years (the declared deadline for the removal and storage of millions of tons of Chelyabinsk waste in Poletaevo) - that is, exactly by the summer of 2020, the Poletaevo landfill will be overcrowded and will begin to actively “smell” (we are not talking about the protest moods of residents). We must be aware that this landfill is located quite close to Chelyabinsk ( see map - diagram). The distance from the Poletaevskaya landfill to the new residential development on the western shore of the Shershnevsky reservoir is 12 kilometers. At the same time, the wind rose here is such that Chelyabinsk residents and guests of the city will be able to feel all the “flavors” of this landfill (especially in summer) quickly and clearly.

Because of the wind rose, emissions of the relatively volatile biogas from the Poletaevsky landfill (with hydrogen sulfide and many other pollutants) will be able to reach new densely populated areas of Chelyabinsk, previously considered environmentally friendly. These include the extreme micro-districts of the north-west - from the Rifey complex to the Poplar Alley (these areas are approximately equally distant from the new and old landfills).

Such threats are also real for the zones of the urban forest and the regional hospital, which are now considered the cleanest in the city. Even the city center, which is two and a half times farther from the new landfill than from the old one (up to 20 kilometers compared to 8 kilometers), is also not immune from such risks. The volume of emissions from the flight test site when it is loaded by 2020, will be many times exceed the current volume of emissions from the Korkinsky mine(It is known that Korkinsky emissions repeatedly covered such a distance, actively participating in the formation of the famous Chelyabinsk smog).

These directions of environmental threats and the main distances from landfills to the mentioned places of Chelyabinsk can be seen on the presented scheme. However, the matter is not limited to threats of air pollution: the blue arrows on the map mark the risks for the Miass River (the distance from the Poletaevsky test site is less than 3 kilometers), then the dotted line marks the path to the city water intake, which water overcomes in just 6.5 hours.
Also on the map you can see the villages on the western coast of the Shershnei, in the previously promising development zone of the Chelyabinsk agglomeration. They are located only 3 kilometers from the Poletaev dump and can easily end up in an ecological disaster zone.

So why is this whole garden so hastily fenced? To report to Moscow that the order has been completed? Maybe it's better to properly prepare the remote solid waste landfill in Chishma - and only then completely close the Chelyabinsk landfill, leaving Poletaev and many Chelyabinsk residents in peace, without worsening their quality of life?

In fact, what is happening now in Chelyabinsk is exactly what President Vladimir Putin categorically warned against: one nightmarish landfill is demonstratively closing, but another, no less harmful, is quietly opening nearby. We note in brackets that the Poletaevo landfill is private and there are simply no plans for its reclamation after overflow (when, how, at whose expense).

I believe that the public discussion of all this at the site of the ONF performs an important function: the problems are “highlighted”, it will not be possible to silence them . The general conclusion is as follows: it is necessary to close and reclaim the Chelyabinsk landfill, but it is impossible to close it hastily, “at any cost” by a specific date, thus creating serious threats to the population in the near future. All risks must be named, assessed and weighed, and control over the situation must be public; ONF will deal with this and return to the topic in about a month.

No one here needs a second Volokolamsk, and moreover, it is directly connected with the SCO summit project: people's health and the reputation of the presidential event are not things that local officials are allowed to juggle.

To date, the capacity of the landfill is estimated at 22 tons per year, which is clearly not enough to receive all the waste streams from the regional center. Experts' data differ, but the volume of Chelyabinsk garbage is estimated at 400 to 650 thousand tons.

The landfill is prepared to accept waste in the amount provided for by the territorial waste management scheme. We are constantly working, modernizing production, purchasing modern equipment. An increase in the landfill is envisaged in the design capacity, - said Zahid Kamilov.

At the landfill, work is underway to restore the waste sorting complex, which will allow processing waste. These works will be completed by July 1. AT this moment commissioning of the complex. Technically, the landfill is completely ready for waste acceptance. According to the original project, the landfill was designed for the Sosnovsky district and was ready to receive 22,000 tons of garbage per year. To date, it is filled with 6.5 thousand tons. The representative of the company assured that the volume is difficult to compare with a serious load, and today it does not cause any problems.

The enterprise has implemented all actions to increase the capacity of the landfill and is awaiting a positive conclusion from the state environmental review. In the future, it is planned to build four waste sorting complexes in Poletaevo, equipment for recycling has been purchased construction waste, the problem of waste disposal after subbotniks is being solved.

Zahid Kamilov assured that the landfill is ready to be rebuilt to meet the requirements put forward by the city. In addition, the director of the enterprise is sure that the object does not provide harmful effects on the environment. Disturbance local residents he considers the result of insufficient explanatory work with the population.

A group of public activists from the Sosnovsky district, headed by the deputy of the village of Poletaevo, Yulia Kudashova, filed a lawsuit with the Chelyabinsk Regional Court against the Ministry of Ecology of the region. They demand to revise the territorial scheme for waste management in terms of storage of household waste from Chelyabinsk at the Poletaevsky landfill, as well as recalculate the tariff for garbage collection. According to the deputy, the officials did not work out the scheme enough, which could turn into an environmental disaster for Poletaevo and exorbitant fees for the removal of household waste for the population of neighboring regions and cities. The Ministry of Ecology of the region does not comment on the complaint, since the court has so far suspended consideration of the claim and has not sent documents to the department for review.

The Chelyabinsk Regional Court filed a class action lawsuit by five residents of the Poletaevsky rural settlement "on recognition of the territorial scheme for waste management, including solid municipal waste(TKO), Chelyabinsk region inactive. The document was accepted for consideration, but left without movement. According to one of the initiators of the lawsuit, Yulia Kudashova, a deputy of the Poletaevsky rural settlement, the public were obliged to familiarize themselves with the materials of the prosecutor's lawsuit, after which its consideration would be resumed. "Ministry of Ecology for a long time did not respond to our complaints, sending us to court. More than a year of unsuccessful struggle has passed, we have collected a large number of documents, examinations and now we are going to court. They try to assure us that everything is fine, but this is not so, and we are well prepared, thoroughly studied all the information. I am sure that the ministry knows much less about this landfill than we do,” she said. Kommersant-South Ural” Mrs. Kudashova.

Residents of Poletaevo have been struggling with the project of placing a solid waste landfill near the village for several years. In February 2017, the landfill was included in the state register of waste disposal facilities by order of Rosprirodnadzor.

The statement of claim says that the territorial scheme has numerous shortcomings, in particular, the volume of waste that will be sent to the Poletaevsky landfill has not been calculated. Initially, according to the deputy, it was not expected that most garbage from the Chelyabinsk city landfill, which will begin to close as early as 2018. Ms. Kudashova claims that "there were no public hearings where such a scheme would be agreed with the residents", especially since, "according to some reports, the storage of garbage from Chelyabinsk will not be temporary, but the main one." Residents believe that the landfill will not cope with such a volume of garbage, which will also come from neighboring cities and districts that are part of the Chelyabinsk cluster - Yuzhnouralsk, Yemanzhelinsk, Troitsk and many small villages. In addition, to statement of claim The initiative group attached a response from the Nizhne-Obsky Basin Water Administration (Department of Water Resources for the Chelyabinsk Region of the Federal Water Resources Agency) to the appeal of Ms. Kudashova regarding the placement of a landfill in the areas designated by the Ministry of Ecology. The document says that overloading with volumes of garbage threatens water resources- the Miass River and the Shershnevsky Reservoir, because “in case of non-compliance with the requirements of environmental legislation at the MSW landfill”, there is a “probability of pollutants entering” surface and underground water bodies. During a flood, pollutants "may be transformed in the form of diffuse runoff into surface runoff into the Birgilda and Miass rivers." “We believe that, despite the fact that the location of the solid waste landfill in the indicated place generally complies with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation, a threat is created to the safety of water supply during the operation of the above water intakes. Given the fact that the issue of a backup source of water supply for a city with a population of one million has not been resolved, the location of the solid waste landfill may lead to an environmental disaster that will leave drinking water 1.5 million people,” the document says.

Yulia Kudashova noted that the tariff, which may be set for cities included in the Chelyabinsk cluster, may become unaffordable for most residents, especially when it comes to villages and large families: “The map is simply not drawn, all the roads there are straight lines, that is, the logistics are not calculated at all. And on its basis, the Ministry of Tariff Regulation will form a tariff for the population. If the garbage needs to be transported 250 km, what will be the tariff? We now have a tariff in private homes - 81 rubles. per person, in the Sosnovsky district, in general, the tariff is the highest - 146 rubles. from a person. That is, the landfill will earn money, and we all will pay,” the deputy believes.

The press secretary of the Ministry of Ecology of the Chelyabinsk region, Ekaterina Sorokina, told Kommersant-South Ural that the department has not yet received documents from the court. “Commenting on rumors and speculation is not entirely correct. We are waiting official documents in order to get acquainted with the provisions of social activists,” said Ms. Sorokina.

According to co-founder environmental project"Let's do it!" Yaroslav Magazov, the existing landfill in Poletaevo is so small that it will not be able to accept additional volumes of garbage from Chelyabinsk. “Even the one that exists is working with violations, there are already local problems there that could affect the Miass River,” Mr. Magazov told Kommersant-South Ural. In his opinion, recycling and separate collection waste. “According to our calculations, at the moment it is already possible to recycle about 50% of the collected garbage - metal, glass, things, perhaps even organic matter. Due to this, the volume of garbage collection and disposal will be significantly reduced, and waste will not need to be redistributed from closed landfills to existing ones,” the expert concluded.

Is someone deliberately misleading the inhabitants of a village in the Chelyabinsk region? The landfill in Poletaevo is, firstly, a temporary measure, and secondly, the new complex engineering structures have nothing to do with open dumps that affect the environment.

On Tuesday, the regional court denied the residents of the village of Poletaevo the immediate execution of its earlier decision regarding the Territorial Scheme for the Treatment of Solids. household waste, specifically - blocking a landfill in the Sosnovsky district. The reason - the Ministry of Ecology of the Chelyabinsk region filed a complaint with the Supreme Court.

Yana Kuprikova, First Deputy Minister of Ecology of the region, told Guberniya that at the moment the Territorial Scheme is valid and does not contradict federal laws.

The decision of the court has not entered into force, - said the Deputy Minister.

At the same time, our Ministry of Ecology, taking into account the requests of Poletaevo residents, who had previously applied to the regional court, took measures to correct the previously approved Territorial Scheme.

Last week, the Territorial Waste Management Scheme was approved in a new edition, - says Yana Kuprikova. - Changes were made to this scheme, taking into account the comments of Rosprirodnadzor and the public. The next stage is the re-passing of the ecological expertise of the Poletaevo landfill project.

The landfill in Poletaevo is included in the state register of waste disposal facilities and is included in the territorial waste management scheme of the Chelyabinsk region. Earlier on new minister Ecology of the Chelyabinsk Region Sergei Likhachev emphasized that the landfill in Poletaevo would be temporary, since it would take about 10 months to prepare all the conditions at the facility in the village of Chishma, where waste would be "buried" in the future.)

Unlike landfills, a landfill is a complex engineering structure, which, in accordance with the strict requirements of sanitary legislation, excludes contamination of the earth, groundwater with decay products, and atmospheric air- volatile organic compounds. The situation that exists in open landfills is impossible at a landfill. Meanwhile, from time to time, residents of the territories where landfills are going to be built express concern about these objects. "Province" decided to explain once again what is the difference between landfills and landfills.

Open landfills are a serious source of environmental pollution. According to experts, as a result of the processes of decomposition of garbage, toxic biological gas is released, one of the components of which is methane, and the second carbon dioxide. All this poisons the soil, water and air. The nearest reservoirs become toxic and dangerous for humans, the soil is unusable for several hundred years even after the landfill is closed. In landfills, fires constantly occur, poisonous smoke, entering the atmosphere, poisons all living things within a radius of several kilometers. Deterioration ecological state environment due to landfills negatively affects human health, leads to dangerous diseases.

The most famous South Ural landfill is located in Chelyabinsk. As you know, from July 1, it stops its work, its reclamation is to be done. (You can read about how it will be carried out in our other material.) Residents of the region are well aware of another of the largest unauthorized dumps, which is located in the Sosnovsky district near Poletaevo. . Instead of a safe landfill for garbage, first-class waste continued to be brought to the village, and for some reason the residents did not care much. The landfill was then mountains of plastic and glass bottles, spoiled food and broken household items, including batteries and fluorescent lamps. Huge deposits of garbage near Poletaevo are located on two and a half hectares. By order of the regional Ministry of Ecology, the reclamation of this illegal landfill was supposed to be completed in March last year, but the work was delayed.

- In 2011 land plot was chosen for the placement of a landfill for municipal solid waste, - then the head of the Department of State Ecological Expertise of the Regional State Environmental Supervision of the Ministry of Ecology of the Chelyabinsk Region, Sergey Lavrov, told the "Gubernia". - Within a three-year period, the administration had to prepare all the necessary documents: form a project, pass the state environmental review, and so on. Nothing has been done, but the site is being operated. Garbage is simply dumped on the ground, and there is no control over what is brought here. There is also hazardous waste, and all this will either go into the groundwater together with the melted snow, or end up in the air - the landfill burns regularly.

It is because of the danger of landfills that modern landfills have now begun to be built. They have nothing to do with open landfills. Unlike landfills, where waste is dumped on the ground, the landfill includes permanent buildings, excavation is carried out on it and serious waterproofing is done. For example, not far from the village of Poletaevo-1, the enterprise “SW landfill. Its CEO on the main features of the landfill:

Garbage is brought to the sorting point, where it is separated from the main garbage that which can go to recycling such as paper, plastic, metal and so on. All this is pressed and sent to consumers of recycled materials. The remains (tailings) are loaded into a dump truck and taken away for disposal on a landfill map. A map is a large pit, which is covered with a special three-layer material - teplonit, which prevents harmful substances from penetrating into the soil. On the maps, garbage is also pressed, and when its height reaches a certain mark (about a meter), it is covered with a layer of clay. Next, garbage is again piled on the clay, and in this way the waste is completed until the pit is full. Then it is covered with soil (about two meters), on which plants are planted. After closing one card, another opens.

Now all landfills in the Chelyabinsk region work on the same principle: they are engaged in sorting and burial. However, with the transition to a new municipal solid waste management system, there will be a full range of services - neutralization, disposal, and so on. Let us recall that the Chelyabinsk region was one of the first in Russia to approve its territorial scheme for the management of municipal solid waste. It defines what kind of waste, and in what quantity, is generated on the territory of the Chelyabinsk region, which is divided into clusters, within the boundaries of which waste collection sites, logistics, the creation of waste transfer stations, where the waste will be pre-treated, sent to waste sorting complexes. Sorted waste will be sent for recycling, and waste unsuitable for further use will end up in a landfill.

At the meeting, where the prospects for closing the Chelyabinsk landfill were discussed, the director of Landfill SDW LLC Zakhid Kamilov, whose company will deal with the placement and processing of waste at a temporary landfill in Poletaevo, recalled that since 2019, garbage can no longer be buried without processing. This is a legal requirement. Zahid Kamilov spoke about how ready the landfill is to accept Chelyabinsk garbage and what the company will do after the closure of the Poletaevsky landfill and the redirection of waste to Chishma.

Let us add that the governor of the Chelyabinsk region, Boris Dubrovsky, personally examined the places (for example, in Magnitogorsk), where a whole waste processing complex is being built, including a landfill. Magnitogorsk, by the way, has become a pilot municipality for the processing of solid waste.

We need modern system waste management. The introduction of new approaches will significantly improve the environmental situation, - noted the governor of the Chelyabinsk region Boris Dubrovsky more than once.
