The increase in MSW removal rates was explained by the introduction of new landfills and logistics.
In Sakhalin, the regional operator explained the increase in the cost of removal and disposal of MSW by launching a limestone landfill and the increase in costs for transporting, processing and disposal of waste.
Simply put, now you have to pay not only for the car that collects the container. The rate includes the entire chain - waste transportation, processing and removal. If the site is new, and the delivery distance or logistics costs increase, these costs are included in the fee.
In 2026, the service rates were linked to the index in two stages: from January - by 1.7% due to the VAT increase from 20% to 22%, and the main adjustment - from October 1. For residents of the Sakhalin region, the maximum increase in total electricity bills is set at 9%.
The regional operator says that the tariff is under review by the regional energy commission. Businesses are asked to reconsider the declared amounts of waste and the schedule for removal if the actual need is less.
Sakhalin's example is far from the first and will not be the last.
Krasnoyarsk region. From October 1, 2026, in the Krasnoyarsk Right Bank region, the rate increased to 1853.33 rubles per cubic meter, and the estimated annual growth is estimated at 22-36% depending on the region. The regional authorities explain the price increase in new transport contracts, the increase in fuel prices and the increases in the minimum wage and driver salaries. As of today, transportation makes up about 70% of the operator's costs.
Altai region. In the Barnaul region, as of October 1, 2026, the rates for residents of apartment buildings increased by 12%, for individual trains - by 16%. Among the reasons for the rate increase, the authorities cite the closure of the landfill in Zodilovo, which increased the distance of waste transportation. They also remind you that the increase in wages, fuel and consumables have all been taken into account.
medics From October 1, 2026, the rate was almost doubled: from 460 to 837 rubles per cubic meter. The reason discussed in the public is the gap between the amounts of waste actually removed and the payment at the previous rate.
