As part of the separate waste collection program, more than 1.65 million tons of recyclable materials were collected in the capital last year, said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.
The city has had a separate waste collection program in place for five years now. It is in demand among Muscovites and has proven its effectiveness. Thus, the amount of collected recyclable materials is growing. In 2024 alone, over 1.65 million tons of recyclable materials were sorted and sent for recycling, while before the program began in 2019, it was only 450 thousand tons.
To make the process of separate waste collection as convenient as possible, a simple two-container system was chosen.
“Branded containers with blue and grey markings have been installed in courtyards and near social facilities. Waste paper, glass, plastic and metals can be thrown into the former, and other waste can be thrown into the latter. Waste collection and removal is carried out by about one thousand garbage trucks with the appropriate colour indication,” said Pyotr Biryukov.
The contents of the bins are taken to sorting plants. Here, using automatic separators and under the supervision of specialists, the recyclables are separated into dozens of components – various types of plastic and waste paper, glass of different colors, ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Then all of this is sent for recycling.
The waste separation program will continue, and participation in it remains voluntary.
