Project to install containers for used batteries collection prepared in Tatarstan

13 September 2017, Wednesday

The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan is preparing a project to install containers for the collection of used batteries and their subsequent disposal, which will reduce the entry of hazardous waste into landfills of solid domestic waste.
The project is scheduled to be launched in 2017. It will consist of several stages: the organization of collection, storage, transportation, and disposal of used batteries. The containers will be installed in popular places of Kazan. Now the project is being successfully implemented in Almetyevsk. More than 150 specialized containers have been installed in various educational institutions and enterprises of the city.
Taking into account the fact that the volume of generated waste increases annually, the rate of exhausting of the resource of existing landfills is growing, so at present the issues of waste management, in particular waste collection, processing and utilization, including hazardous waste, are pressing. According to the new provisions of the waste legislation, further development of the waste management infrastructure in the Republic of Tatarstan will be carried out in accordance with the territorial schedule in the field of waste management, including solid municipal waste, of the Republic of Tatarstan, which provides for intermunicipal integration of solid municipal waste management activities and the formation of zones of activity of regional operators. Within the framework of the territorial schedule, it is planned to modernize solid municipal waste collection facilities, create waste collection facilities, and install special modules for separate waste collection.
