Closed container platform KPZT-06.00.01

As a result of life activity, many different wastes arise. This includes leftover food, construction waste, spoiled items, and deteriorated household equipment. To maintain cleanliness and order, municipal services are setting up a special container area for garbage.

As a rule, this is a small area with a low fence. Unlike a garbage chute, this method of storing waste also involves sorting waste, which simplifies the recycling process.

Types and types of waste container sites

There are two types of container sites:

• open, most common;
• closed;
• underground.

The cost of open-air structures is relatively low, and utilities use these.

Closed waste collection area with doors

A structure closed on all sides with a canopy and even doors is not seen very often. This is a more expensive option. Maintenance of such a site is paid for by residents of individual nearby houses or an organization.

The rarest type is a site with a waste storage area hidden underground. And on top there is only a garbage receptacle. Due to the high cost of construction and maintenance, you can rarely see them. It is advisable to use them to save space or to maintain an aesthetic appearance.

Some garbage tends to decompose and attract animals and flies with its smell. Fire or infection may enter groundwater. To avoid unpleasant consequences, when constructing a waste container site, certain sanitary standards must be observed.

Requirements for MSW and MSW sites

First, let's understand the concepts of MSW and MSW. After the adopted amendments to the law “On Production and Consumption Waste”, the concept of MSW – municipal solid waste – appeared for the first time. The responsibility for storing and removing these raw materials was assigned to public utilities.

The bulk of the garbage in modern cities is ordinary household solid waste (MSW), which is generated daily: food debris, glass, plastic, cellulose, etc. Municipal waste (MSW) includes waste that accumulates in residential or non-residential premises during activities person or organization, for example, consumer goods that have lost their original purpose.

In the above-mentioned law, the terminology of MSW serves primarily to distinguish between types of waste and, accordingly, standards and tariffs for ordinary people and enterprises. It is obvious that entrepreneurs and organizations with large staff throw away much more garbage in the course of their activities than the average resident.

The organization of the container site is carried out by local utilities. When installing and maintaining these territories, they must be guided by the requirements enshrined in the instructions “Sanitary rules for maintaining the territory of populated areas SanPin 42-128-4690-88. These include:

1. It is mandatory that in the area of ​​residential buildings there must be special areas fenced on at least three sides. The height of the fence should be at least 1–1.5 m to prevent the wind from blowing debris into the nearby area. The location must be such that there is clear passage for the garbage truck. There should be no vegetation within a radius of 10 meters.
2. Garbage containers must be located at a distance of at least 20 meters from residential buildings, children's and sports grounds, but no more than 100 meters.
3. Garbage containers should be installed on a concrete or asphalt base at a height of 10–20 cm from the ground level so that rain streams do not fall under them. Sealable tanks are required.
4. The number of storage bins depends on the number of houses located nearby. On average, the site size should accommodate from 3 to 5 waste containers.
5. Garbage must be removed daily, and containers must be cleaned and treated with disinfectants at least once every 10 days, with the exception of winter.
6. Possibility of installing covered fences for private sector owners.

MSW sites

Federal Law No. 89 of June 24, 1998 “On Production and Consumption Waste” clearly regulates the creation and maintenance of places intended for the storage of MSW.

Clause 2 of the Rules for the Management of Municipal Solid Waste, which was approved by Government Decree No. 1156 of the Russian Federation “On the management of MSW”, states that the place for their collection must comply with the standards and undergo regular sanitary treatment.

The responsibility to monitor the maintenance lies with the companies and owners of the sites where the waste collection site is equipped. They also do repairs and painting. Obligations for waste removal and equipment purchase were assigned to the regional operator.

To remove waste from construction sites and areas adjacent to shops and office premises, additional containers are installed that can hold up to 8 cubic meters.

Arrangement of waste storage areas

When constructing container sites, it is necessary to take into account the location and volume of daily waste. In residential areas and residential areas, places for collecting solid waste into 3 containers are optimally designed. In parks, near institutions, in the area of ​​shopping centers, it is enough to have a site for 1-2 containers.

Article 8 of Russian Federation Law No. 89-FZ states who should install containers and should equip waste collection sites. According to this law, local governments are responsible for the development of sites.

The responsibility for purchasing and maintaining containers for waste accumulation lies with regional operators. Bunkers can also be purchased by owners of land on which MSW accumulation sites are located.

Legacies of the past are still found today

Requirements for organizing space for garbage containers

When installing garbage containers, SanPiN must be applied, adopted in 2010, 2.1.2.2645-10. They regulate:

• how often waste should be removed;
• how the location of garbage cans is chosen;
• properly arrange a special place for waste collection and access to it;
• how many garbage containers are placed;
• what should be the distance from various objects.

More detailed requirements are given in the outdated SanPiN 42-128-4690-88. They are basically guided by them. But only for problems that are not regulated by the new rules, or in cases where the regulations do not contradict each other.

When choosing a place where a special area for waste collection and removal is set up, it is necessary to take into account a number of requirements:

• special equipment must approach freely;
• a flat asphalted or concreted surface, elevated by 100-200 mm, can have a minimal slope towards the open side, from where special equipment approaches. This makes it easier to remove garbage;
• fences with a height of more than 100 cm should be equipped with three sides;
• arrange a green area of ​​trees and/or shrubs around;
• install tanks of appropriate sizes to meet the needs in a certain area;
• Storage tanks must have tight lids to prevent precipitation from entering. Otherwise, rotting processes will rapidly develop, which will significantly complicate the sanitary situation in the surrounding area;
• the distance to buildings and other objects is, if possible, within 20-100 meters. If it is impossible to comply with it, a special decision is made. the commission created on this occasion;
• do not place more than five containers;
• remove waste at intervals of at least once a week;
• It is undesirable to set up a waste collection/removal area near flower beds, narrow passages, pedestrian paths and highways. Naturally, compliance with such a requirement is often difficult.

Solid waste sites

When installing a container site for collecting solid waste (solid household waste), its dimensions are determined. This is based on how many residents will be served. As usual, for small container sites, a couple of small tanks with a volume of 0.8 - 1 m3 are sufficient. It may be necessary to maintain an area from which a large amount of waste is removed. Then the special facility is equipped with strong and high fences and more spacious containers.

At the same time, it should be placed so as not to complicate the access for garbage trucks. It is possible to equip the waste collection area with a lockable gate. When installing the roof, it is advisable to ensure air circulation. To do this, the fence and roof are separated by a gap.

Even leaving the entrance free, it is advisable to provide measures to ensure the safety of the tanks. Unfortunately, they are kidnapped quite often.

MSW sites

Compliance with waste container regulations is extremely important where large numbers of people work or are served. In the vicinity of supermarkets and hypermarkets, buildings used for offices, sites are always needed to collect municipal solid waste (MSW). There is no way to get by with standard containers of minimum capacity. Therefore, current norms and rules allow the installation of waste bins with a larger capacity, five-cube and eight-cube.

Tanks of even greater capacity are installed in industrial zones and construction sites. There they can reach a capacity of 20 m3 and even 27 m3.

Despite the significant density of urban development, such a site must be set aside at the required distance from residential buildings.

Equipment for container sites

There are several features to consider when constructing a waste disposal area:

• type of site - open or closed;
• size, if there is a need to install more than two tanks;
• take into account the need for the likely use of an additional bunker or roll-out container;
• types of garbage bin designs;
• manufacturing materials;
• external design of the site.

Recently, the prevailing trend is the arrangement of covered and completely enclosed container sites. They are considered more practical in providing protection from precipitation and wind. As a result, there is no need to purchase tanks with lids, because they are less durable during operation. In closed areas, regular waste bins can be used.

Containers can be made of various materials. But, it is better to choose plastic ones, as they are not afraid of dampness and their service life is much longer. Depending on the type of equipment for solid waste removal, you can purchase roll-out (on rollers) tanks.

If necessary, places with bunkers for collecting bulky waste can be arranged. Most often they are found in places where construction work is underway.

Maintenance of container sites and responsibility

According to government decree No. 290 of 04/03/2013, the responsibility for maintaining the sites lies with the owner of the land on whose territory it is located. Or at local government bodies: UO, housing cooperatives, residential complexes. Landscaping of waste sites consists of:

• maintenance – painting, repairs, etc.;
• cleaning, including the selection and storage of garbage located next to the tank;
• labeling containers by type of waste;
• cleaning and disinfection of waste bins;
• maintaining the coating in the required condition, etc.

Incorrect calculation of the size of the site and the number of tanks required.
For violation of the procedure for maintaining these places, the administrative and technical inspection applies a sanction in accordance with Art. 6.4 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation Art. A fine of up to 2 thousand rubles is imposed on officials, and up to 20 thousand rubles for enterprises. The organization may face suspension of activities for up to 3 months.

Garbage removal rules

In order to protect residents from noise, it is allowed to remove solid waste from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

SanPiN 42-128-4690-88 strictly regulates the frequency of garbage removal in order to prevent it from rotting and decomposing. At air temperatures from +5 °C and below, the frequency of removal is 1 time every 3 days. During the warm season, when the average daily temperature is above +5 °C, garbage cans must be removed daily.

In case of violation of waste removal standards, you should file a complaint with the Rospotrebnadzor department, since supervision over the implementation of sanitary and epidemiological legislation is within its competence.

Installation of containers and garbage bins on the territory of organizations

Garbage cans near shops and organizations are installed taking into account SanPiN standards. Garbage containers should be located at a distance of no closer than 20 m.

Managers are required to monitor the cleanliness of the area and install trash cans for visitors. A ballot box that is more than ⅔ full is a violation. For this, the manager may be subject to an administrative fine.

Waste collection areas for organizations and shops are allocated in the backyard. Outsiders should not have access to trash cans.

The head of the organization enters into an agreement with the regional operator for waste removal according to schedule.

Standards for installing containers in the private sector

For private sector owners, there are two ways to collect household waste:

• installation of a special container platform;
• purchase of roll-off waste containers.

Gardening partnerships, owners of summer cottages, garage-building cooperatives and rural residents independently choose the method of construction, types of repair and maintenance of solid waste collection sites. If the site is small and separate, each owner can choose and purchase from a regional operator at cost a roll-out waste storage tank.

Installed waste collection tank in the private sector

The site must be located at least 10 meters from personal plots, but not more than 100 meters. It is mandatory to have a fence for garbage containers, as there are more stray animals in the private sector.

Garbage removal in the private sector and rural areas is regulated by law. Thus, the law prohibits the installation of waste storage facilities at a distance of less than 9 meters from the passage of a gas main and a power plant. If there is a highway or railroad track nearby, the waste collection area is fenced off from the side of the highway and must be at least 20 meters away from the roads.

Removing waste from a site in rural areas

If the village is located near a forest or park area, then to install waste storage tanks you need to obtain a special permit from the regional operator.

By concluding an agreement with a legal organization, waste collection will be carried out in an organized manner. The rules and schedule for the removal of household waste are agreed separately with the service organization and are fixed in the contract.

After agreeing on all the conditions, the contractor arranges a solid waste collection site, removes garbage with a garbage truck, and regularly cleans and cleans the area. The payment consists of operator tariffs multiplied by the waste accumulation standard, using a seasonality factor.

Garbage removal

The owner of the private sector throws inorganic waste into a container, and can dispose of organic waste on his site.

For the removal of bulky waste and construction materials, it is necessary to conclude a separate agreement for disposal at tariffs for individual categories of waste.

Features of the location of garbage containers

Before equipping the site, they study the rules for installing garbage containers. Legislative acts clearly regulate the boundaries. If any of the points are not observed, you can write a complaint.

It is important to consider the distance of the MSW site from crowded places. Recommended distances to:

• Health care institutions - 50 m.
• Shops and entertainment complexes - 30 m.
• Parks, recreation areas, squares - 50 m. 1 storage device is installed on 4000 m².

Drives should not be installed near highways, pedestrian paths, or on narrow streets. Temporary installation of tanks in areas with construction work is possible, but not longer than 24 hours.

The need to sort waste

Every year there is more and more garbage on the planet. The authorities of the countries allocate huge amounts of money for the construction of landfills for the collection of household waste, for which a huge area of ​​clean land is allocated. Equipment and technologies for processing secondary raw materials are being improved.

However, the “garbage problem” remains. Under the sun's rays and downpours, mixed waste rots and releases toxic substances, poisoning the atmosphere, land and groundwater. Spontaneous combustion of this “explosive” mixture often occurs, causing even greater harm to the environment.

Carrying out “garbage” reform, on January 1, 2021, a new law on sorting waste before disposal came into force. At the same time, the presidential order on the creation was signed. Thus, the state took control of the processes of collection, storage and disposal of household waste.

Container site with separate waste collection

Many countries have been successfully using waste sorting systems for several years now. Citizens were required to sort garbage by dumping it in appropriate containers. The system for marking tanks for various waste has proven itself well. Depending on their purpose, they may have different colors or inscriptions. The relevant housing and communal services are required to install such containers separated by type of waste.

At the household level, it is customary to sort waste according to its intended purpose:

• glass products;
• packaging and bottles for juices and canned goods made of metal;
• packaging paper, newspapers, cardboard and other cellulose items;
• textile products;
• leftover food;
• deteriorated batteries, batteries, LED lamps, etc.

For convenience, so that going to the container does not turn into an unpleasant procedure, it is better to sort the garbage at home, placing it in bags or containers in advance.

The process of sorting waste can be called a noble cause, since by spending a little time, everyone will contribute their bit of care for the environment and the planet as a whole.

Types of sites

The container platform for waste collection is located on an asphalt or concrete platform with a slope of 0.02% towards the entrance for the garbage truck. A fencing of container sites on three sides with a height of more than 1 m and a roof are required.

Solid waste sites

For household waste, fences of different sizes are made depending on the needs of residents: the smallest are designed for 2 containers, the largest - for 6. They can have a locking gate or free entry. They usually have a non-solid design: for ventilation, a gap is left between the walls and the roof.

MSW sites

In areas with a concentration of business centers or retail spaces, fencing for solid municipal waste is in demand. They are distinguished by their large capacity: 6 standard-sized containers or one 8-cubic storage tank are installed there.
