A large-scale sanitary and ecological two-month period has started in Tatarstan today
Traditionally, on behalf of the Head of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, the two-month period starts on April 1. The main goal of the eco–marathon of cleanliness, which takes place in the Republic in support of the national project "Ecological well-being", is the elimination of landfills and landscaping after winter.
So, in 2024, within two months, almost 3,500 violations were detected by all supervisory authorities, 40% of them were unauthorized waste disposal. Every second violation out of 3.5 thousand was eliminated by May 30, the rest within a year. By the end of April and May 2024, fines and demands totaling 4.7 million rubles were filed.
Traditionally, a lot of work is carried out by municipalities, enterprises and caring citizens. Last year, 398,000 Tatarstan citizens took part in clean-up activities. Almost 350 thousand cubic meters of waste were exported to MSW landfills, and about 12 thousand pieces of equipment were involved.
During the two-month period, the Ministry of Ecology of Tatarstan has planned helicopter flights and commission detours along the railway lanes.
"Let's not wait for the snow to come down everywhere, we need to start putting things in order today. We must complete all the basic landscaping by May 9 in order to adequately celebrate our main holiday - the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory," said the Minister of Ecology of Tatarstan, addressing the heads of Tatarstan municipalities.
