In the Kaliningrad region, convicts will make 90% of new garbage sites

According to the decision of the Governor Alexei Bezproznykh, 300 million rubles were allocated for updating the MSW accumulation system. More than 600 new sites and video surveillance are expected to be delivered in 2027. This was reported by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Kaliningrad region.

In the regional Ministry of Natural Resources under the leadership of the head of the department Oksana Astakhova, a working meeting was held with the participation of representatives of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Kaliningrad region, the regional Union of Waste Processors and representatives of specialized structures. During the meeting, key landmarks for 2027 were discussed: the arrangement of 625 modern garbage collection sites; the creation of 156 specialized compartments for large-sized waste; the purchase of 442 new containers; the acquisition and installation of 102 video surveillance systems.

About 90% of the sites are planned to be manufactured by UFSIN production forces. This will allow convicts to master demanded working specialties and gain practical skills, and subsequently successfully return to normal life in society. About 10% of the sites will be manufactured with the involvement of local processing enterprises, and all purchased containers will be produced with a mandatory share of secondary raw materials (at least 10%).

Recently, Saturdays were held in the Krasnoznamensky district, where memorable and historical places were removed.
