Serpukhovichi reminded about the importance of separate garbage disposal

Container sites are equipped with containers of two colors: blue - for dry waste (paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, metal), which are then sent for recycling, and gray - for mixed waste, including food residues, contaminated packaging and personal hygiene products. Before disposal, the packaging is recommended to be cleaned of food residues and crumpled for compactness.

For bulky waste – household appliances, large items and old furniture – special bunkers with a volume of 8 cubic meters are provided at the sites, where they should be disposed of in disassembled form. Also organized sites "Megabak", where orange boxes for hazardous waste: batteries, mercury lamps and thermometers. In the urban district of Serpukhov "Megabaki" are located on Ekaterina Dashkova Street, 18, and on Basovaya Street, 7, and in Pushchino - on Builders Street, 5. Sites accept large-sized waste from Monday to Saturday from 09:00 to 18:00, Sunday is a day off.

Construction waste requires separate disposal: for its removal, you need to order a special container from a licensed organization. You can find out about such companies on the Construction Waste Management Portal - https://stroyothody.mosreg.ru/. You can order export by scanning the QR code on the information plate, which is located on each site. An administrative fine is provided for unauthorized discharge of bulky garbage outside the installed container. Illegal dumping can be reported to the administration at ecology-serp@yandex.ru, indicating the date, time, place and attaching a video, or by calling 8 (4967) 12-83-42.

In the shopping centers “Korston”, “Atlas”, “Metro”, “Chernyshevsky” and “Lenta” on the Borisov highway, fandoms for plastic bottles and aluminum cans are installed: after receiving the container, a person receives a check with a QR code, which can be registered on the website and credit points to a personal account. Residents of Serpukhov can also hand over plastic caps separately - containers for them are located in the parks named after Oleg Stepanov and Prinarsky. Caps are accepted only from plastic bottles and doy-pack bags marked "2", "02", 4 LDPE, Tetra Pak, HDPE; raw materials should be clean and preferably without liners.

Separate collection reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, reduces soil and water pollution, prevents hazardous emissions and increases the proportion of materials that can be recycled. This reduces the need for primary raw materials and reduces the pressure on natural resources.
