Under this project, a waste recycling center was set up for which a rotary disintegrator of polyethylene plastics; a hydraulic stacker; and a plaster slab press were acquired and commissioned; and the procedure of accepting, transporting, sorting and storing recycled waste (carton, paper, polyethylene plastics and plastic bottles) was put in place. Every month up to 70 t of carton and paper and nearly 5-6 t of polyethylene plastics and plastic bottles are processed and removed. Recycling center operators were trained and additional jobs were created.  A free removal of waste from educational institutions has been organized in accordance with an agreement concluded with Shelekhov Raion Administration.
