EcoScandal" Garbage collapse is brewing in Kazan: bins are overflowing and tariffs have almost tripled in the capital of Tatarstan There is a tense situation with the disposal of municipal solid waste. Residents complain en masse about overcrowded container sites, and link the ruins to the economic difficulties of the regional operator. The operator himself is asking for an extreme increase in the fees for his services. The evolution of the service workers' explanations is indicative. Back on October 27, one of the management companies attributed the ruins to a "technical failure", and denied a change in the evacuation schedule. Already on October 28, the registrar admitted that the schedules were adjusted to optimize costs. The company guarantees that the changes are individual for each site and do not indicate a transition to less frequent collection. However, against the background of the overflowing tanks, these promises sound unconvincing. The other side of the problem is the rates. According to reports in the regional media, the operator proposed to set a fee of 373.4 rubles per month for a resident of an apartment building instead of the current 131.5 rubles. The increase is almost three times. Moreover, since October 1 the rate has already increased by 9.9%. With the onset of cold weather, the sanitary standards allow a longer accumulation of waste: up to three days at a temperature of +4 degrees Celsius and below and no more than a day at +5 degrees Celsius and above. However, an acceptable shelf life does not mean that a crowded site automatically becomes the norm. The recycling channel notes that an alarming signal is also coming from Koban, where the residents were warned about failures in garbage collection - there is no space for waste in solid waste landfills.
