More than 200 tons of old tires collected in Petrozavodsk for processing

The problem of recycling worn-out car tires remains one of the acute topics for Petrozavodsk. At the next meeting in the city administration, information was announced on the scale of the collected material.

During the autumn campaign, the company "Avtospetstrans" managed to collect about 200 tons of old tires. They were taken to four specialized reception points operating in the capital of Karelia.

Ilya Mikhachev, deputy head of the administration and head of the housing and communal services committee, stressed that Petrozavodsk occupies one of the leading places in the country in terms of the number of cars per thousand inhabitants. Given the high motorization, the need for regular tire replacement (roughly every two years) becomes obvious.

Recall that the employees of PMUP "Avtospetstrans" previously stated the importance of proper disposal to prevent the formation of natural landfills and maintain the cleanliness of the urban environment. Throwing tires together with ordinary household waste is strictly prohibited; there are special containers for them.

The collection points are located at the following addresses:
