Municipal solid waste accounting system

2022: System Plan

On May 24, 2022, it became known that a federal state information system for accounting for municipal solid waste (MSW) will appear in Russia. With its help, it will be possible to assess the volume of garbage collection throughout the country, track the number of agreements concluded in the industry, and familiarize yourself with tariffs in force in different regions.

Chairman Mikhail Mishustin approved the regulation on this information system. It will automate the accounting of municipal solid waste, strengthen control over the state of landfills, sorting centers and waste processing plants, and generally make this industry more transparent.

This system will contain information about the sources of waste generation, the places and volumes of their accumulation, the objects of their treatment, disposal and neutralization. It will include several subsystems, the main of which will be an electronic model of the federal scheme for the management of municipal solid waste. The list of other subsystems will be determined by the Ministry of Natural Resources.

The system will interact with other state resources, including the information system of housing and communal services, electronic models of territorial waste management schemes.

Part of the posted information will be available to everyone on the official website of the system. For regional MSW operators and individual entrepreneurs working in this industry, personal offices will be created in the state information system.

The public law company Russian Environmental Operator will be responsible for the creation and development of the new system.
