Just not So long ago among the concerns voiced in the direct line With President of Russia Vladimir Putin, a resident of Omsk was asked about the unreasonably high tariffs on the export of municipal solid waste.
This is a fair question, And the situation in Omsk is already closely engaged in the Federal Antimonopoly service, but such incidents Is not only the reason for the response of relevant structures of state power, but also an occasion to talk about new principles And rules for the treatment of waste, or rather waste in our country.
The situation with the collection, removal, disposal And practice is absent in the RF processing municipal solid waste (MSW) has become so critical that delay the reform of the entire system for the treatment of MSW was simply impossible.
In accordance With the amendments to the RF Law " on wastes of production And consumption ", From January 1, 2019 regions have adopted a new system for the treatment of MSW. This is the So-called junk reform, which has already twice postponed, but at present, owing to the obvious environmental issues And historically accumulated "trash heritage" to postpone it is impossible. Although I stress that it would be better to say not about reform, and the creation From scratch of new technological industries for the treatment of MSW, which will give the opportunity to minimize waste disposal And to involve them in the processing And secondary turnover. As long as the essence of these changes, most at the regional level is not always properly understood.
currently, the subjects of the Russian Federation adopted their territorial plans for waste management, reflecting the whole turnover of municipal solid waste, And on a competitive basis to selected regional operators - the main responsible for the organization of the whole chain of waste management, from collection And sorting to recycling And disposal "tails" MSW.
in parts of the regions, the reform actually resulted in a rise in the cost of service for waste management. The 1st and foremost reason for the increased cost lies in the closure illegal And do not comply with the standards of the landfills. What number of waste disposal facilities has declined in practice five times, and "leverage" the transportation of waste to permitted landfills, has increased accordingly. The most sensitive closure of the landfill was for settlements in rural areas, where according to tradition, a significant part of the waste is illegally exported to quarries And forests.
It should be noted that the aforementioned increase in tariffs Is the average value, And their actual values depend on regional specifics.
So, the national average ratio of accumulation of solid municipal waste is 2, 02 cubic meters per person per year. While there is considerable dispersion of values, And within individual fields. Typically, these differences demonstrate about incorrect use of the method of calculation of norm of accumulation of municipal solid wastes. However, in terms of cities, the rate has not changed or even decreased, and in the urban settlements of Nizhny Novgorod region, for example, showed a decrease in the rate up to 40 %.
The Federal Executive authorities control meticulously the tariff policy of regions. From the first days of the transition to the new system by the Federal Antimonopoly service has done a great job. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has adopted a number of decisions the government has developed a set of measures to curb the tariff increases, some of which have already been implemented. Frozen the rates of payment for negative impact on the environment And on the time permitted, by decision of the management of the region parts of the polygons that do not have the necessary documentation, With mandatory subsequent reclamation.
Another part of measures to curb prices even Until not entered into force. The 1st and foremost, the story is about the release of the regional operators from VAT, as well as providing regions targeted financial support for the organization of a new system of waste management.
in addition, the experience of the first half of the work demonstrated that it is necessary to improve normative-legal base. In the near future to move from charge residents for waste paper regulations more clear And fair the pay - in fact the accumulated waste. With mandatory separate collection of MSW in two factions - the " dry "packaging And" wet " organics.
The next step will be the freeing Residents from having to pay for the removal of dry waste As this fraction will be in demand in business As raw material for recycling. Waste Is a cost-effective resource, the main thing is to use it to benefit society And the state And did not harm the environment And ecology of our country.
