Now, at Moscow’s eco-points, residents of the capital can hand in used items for recycling car tires. Their diameter should not exceed 24 inches. Such tires are then used to make rubber crumb, which serves as a covering for sports grounds. This was reported by Yulia Urozhaeva, head of the capital’s Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection.
“Moscow has already installed 14 special collection points for used car tires. We strive to make separate waste collection as accessible and convenient as possible for every resident of the capital. Expanding the network of eco-points and the emergence of new categories of recyclable materials is an important step that, with the active participation of Muscovites, helps us return a large volume of waste for reuse, and therefore reduce the burden on the environment,” noted Yulia Urozhaeva.
Project “Ecopoints of Moscow”, implemented by the capital Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection since autumn 2024, continues to develop. Today it has more than 250 textile collection points. It is planned to increase the number of eco-points and expand the list of accepted waste. For example, it will be possible to hand in batteries, electronic devices and books.
The main goal of the “Ecopoints of Moscow” project is to minimize the amount of waste and create convenient conditions for residents to separate its collection and disposal. A special map withcollection points helps to quickly find the nearest point and find out what types of waste it accepts at a specific point. Thus, from January 2 to March 3 of this year, website There were points accepting New Year trees for recycling. City residents handed in 48 thousand of them as part of the “Christmas Tree Cycle” campaign. This is 20 percent more than last year.
In the first quarter of 2025 alone, Muscovites donated about 220 tons of used clothing and textiles. Almost half of the collected recyclable materials (106 tons) were sent for recycling to produce goods, a quarter (58 tons) to charity, and 8.5 percent to burial and disposal.
Thanks to the important and necessary project “Ecopoints of Moscow”, more and more residents make a personal contribution to the preservation of nature, make the city cleaner and take care of the environment on a daily basis.
