Giant grapple will clean Elets from natural landfills

In Yelets, unauthorized landfills near container sites are being removed this week. Work will take place at 50 sites. To collect large debris, a multi-jaw grapple is used - a powerful gripper that can lift large volumes of waste.

Among what is left at the containers are construction debris, car tires and plant waste. Such waste should not be stored on household waste sites.

The city administration reminded how to get rid of them: plant residues can be burned, observing fire safety rules, or sent to compost pits on your site. Construction waste must be removed through specialized services, having concluded a contract with them. Tires should be recycled.

After cleaning, the state of container sites will be monitored using the Smart City system. For violations of the rules of waste management and the creation of landfills, fines are provided, said the mayor of Yelets Vyacheslav Jabin.
