Tatarstan is planning to achieve as quickly as possible the indicators laid down by the national project "Ecology" and the regional project "Integrated system for the management of municipal solid waste (MSW)". The First Deputy Minister of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan Alexei Frolov announced this to journalists today. “The main goal is to achieve as quickly as possible the indicators laid down by the national project. This is an increase in the share of sorted waste to 100% by 2030. For this, it is necessary to create an appropriate infrastructure, introduce a separate collection, pass all waste through sorting, and form disposal facilities. Miracles do not happen, all these tasks need funding,” - he said. “I hope that we will approach as constructively as possible with our proposals in order to change the regulatory framework at the federal level and reduce the negative attitude towards the reform, relieve tension in the relationship between waste generators and regional operators,” - Frolov said. Tatarstan switched to a new system for handling solid municipal waste from January 1, 2019. There are two regional operators identified in the region. In the Eastern zone of activity, the status of a regoperator was assigned to LLC "Grinta", and in the Western zone - to LLC "Managing Company PZhKH". About 1.7 million tons of waste are generated in the republic annually. Currently, an average of 6-8% of garbage is sorted. The formation of an integrated waste management system is being carried out in Russia within the framework of the national project "Ecology", developed on the basis of the "May decrees" of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The public spaces with the highest number of votes in each district will be landscaped according to the federal program "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment", but when choosing courtyards in municipalities, the activity of residents and the number of residents in adjacent apartment buildings will be taken into account. The voting mechanics are extremely simple: a citizen must choose his own municipal district, the next step is to cast his vote for the public space and courtyard, which, in his opinion, need to be improved. It will be possible to take part in the voting only once. Voting for amenities in 2022 will last until May 30. Its main task is not only to make settlements more comfortable for living, but the main thing is to involve residents in this process.
