2021: All garbage trucks in Russia will be connected to the waste control system
July 20, 2021 it became known that all garbage trucks in Russia will be connected to the waste control system. The project was carried out by the Russian Environmental Operator (REO), which, thanks to it, expects to establish control over the movement of municipal solid waste (MSW) and engage in the "whitewashing" of this market.
As noted by the Deputy General Director of REO Alexei Makrushin, by July 2021 in the Russian Federation there is no clear mechanism for controlling the movement of waste - from collection to the moment of processing. A significant part of the garbage is sent to authorized landfills, but cases of waste removal and unauthorized landfills are also periodically recorded.
REO will create a control mechanism on the basis of the state information system "Control of waste transportation routes." Until the end of 2021, it is planned to equip garbage trucks with GLONASS location sensors, but full-fledged data transfer from all garbage trucks will work only in 2022, he added.
Makrushin said that the system will make it possible to monitor the movement of garbage trucks and control all attempts to remove garbage to illegal landfills. For each violation identified, a trial will be organized on the reasons for leaving the route, as a result of which the car will be able to be fined or confiscated.
The cost of connecting each garbage truck to the data transmission system about its location in the REO is estimated at 300 rubles per month. It is assumed that these additional costs will not affect the cost of removing waste from residential buildings.
Deputy Director General of REO for digitalization Alexei Burov said during a press conference that by July 2021 the system contains information about infrastructure facilities, the activities of regional operators, and the MSW transportation route.[1]
