Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting within the framework of incident No. 58 “Organization of the system for handling municipal solid waste”. The work was attended by the management of relevant departments, industry companies, heads of regions and representatives of the Federal Assembly.

“We continue to move steadily towards solving the tasks outlined by the President to form a closed-loop economy. In recent months, six solid municipal waste handling facilities have been commissioned – in Perm Krai, Tomsk and Lipetsk Oblasts, the Udmurt Republic and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Their combined capacity is 0.5 million tons for processing and 170 thousand tons for disposal of solid municipal waste,” said Dmitry Patrushev.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that, according to plans, five more facilities should be completed by the end of the year.

In accordance with the Presidential Decree, sorting by 2030 should reach 100%, and landfill disposal should decrease to 50%, while a quarter of the waste should be returned for recirculation. At present, 57% of waste is processed in our country, and slightly more than 80% is sent to landfills. Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that the dynamics of achieving planned values ahead of schedule must be maintained, while increasing the scale of infrastructure construction.

The Deputy Prime Minister also noted a positive trend during the first half of the year in a number of regions in terms of updating the fleet of special equipment, equipping container sites and purchasing containers. Dmitry Patrushev instructed to continue this work under the supervision of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Russian Ecological Operator.

The incident was used to analyze the work on concluding concession agreements for the construction of industry infrastructure. In March of this year, the Government provided such an opportunity to 19 regions. The Deputy Prime Minister instructed to speed up the conclusion of such agreements.

The issue of supplying garbage trucks to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation under the preferential leasing program, launched for the first time this year, was also raised. The limit provided for 2025 is 420 million rubles. This will ensure the supply of more than 1.2 thousand vehicles to the regions.

The incident meeting discussed the introduction of a system for photographic recording of the state of sites in the country with the transfer of data to the federal system for recording solid municipal waste. Following the meeting, seven regions were recommended to eliminate the backlog and ensure the introduction of the system into operation.

Incident No. 58 “Organization of a system for handling municipal solid waste” was created on the instructions of the Chairman of the Government to ensure the implementation of reform in the area of waste management.

When working in the incident format, a special project management system is used, which is deployed on the basis of the Government Coordination Center. It allows for prompt coordination of the actions of participants and monitoring of project implementation in real time.
