Automated waste sorting complexes and landfills are planned to be launched at the end of 2025 in Salekhard, Muravlenko and Novy Urengoy, according to the website of the governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District.
"The capacity of the new facilities will allow sorting and processing 203,000 tons of waste per year, including 55,000 tons in Salekhard, 65,000 tons in Muravlenko and 83,000 tons in Novy Urengoy," the message says.
The waste will be sorted by type, weight, shape, volume and chemical composition. The complexes will be equipped with shredders for crushing large-sized waste. The selected recyclables will be pressed to reduce volumes and sent for processing to other regions.
The new complexes will be built with investments from the public legal company Russian Environmental Operator, sever-press.ru reports.
