A document establishing a mandatory procedure for the separate collection of MSW will be adopted in Kazan.
(KZN.RU, July 8). A document establishing a mandatory procedure for the separate collection of municipal solid waste (MSW) will be adopted in Kazan. It will allow controlling the work of city organizations and institutions in the field of MSW management, introducing responsibility for them for non-fulfillment of requirements, and also reducing the cost of garbage collection for citizens. Iskander Giniyatullin, the deputy head of the Executive Committee, announced this at the Business Monday today.
The successful implementation of the separate collection of MSW in Kazan requires creating a regulatory framework. For this, it is necessary to adopt a document that not only establishes the procedure for separate collection, but also provides liability for failure to implement this decision, noted I. Giniyatullin. “There are a lot of institutions and organizations of different levels of jurisdiction and forms of ownership in Kazan, which we can only persuade, and not always successfully”, he said. For a broader and more effective implementation of a separate collection in the republic, there is not enough regulatory framework that binds introduce separate collection and sorting of waste.
“The existing documents say that if there are separate accumulation and collection, then it should be in a dual format. But there is no main thing: the obligation of separate accumulation and responsibility for non-execution of this decision”, explained the deputy head of the Executive Committee. Today, only one subject decided on the obligatory transition to a separate collection of MSW in 2020 – Moscow.
The document establishing the procedure for separate collection is also necessary to reduce citizens' fees for exporting MSW. The introduction of payment after delivery, and not according to the standard, is possible only in the case of organized separate accumulation of waste. And the organized separate accumulation of MSW is considered upon approval of the regulatory act.
Today, the Executive Committee prepared a letter to the Ministry of Construction of the RT on the need to adopt a regulatory document, noted I. Giniyatullin.
