Urban environment in the current year 7250 surveys conducted in urban areas and business entities, 1074 kilometers of roadside strips of highways, 156 areas of water bodies, 106 cemeteries and 913 areas of gardening associations and garage cooperatives. Identified 405 illegal dumps that are eliminated. But replacing one, unfortunately, there are others.

During one raid, the environmentalists went to the complex cultural-mass rest behalf of the Soviet Army (Park Mazurino).

With walkways swept and collected leaves in bags workers Kastrychnitski ZhRETa along with assistants from the college of light industry. Park so ready for winter. And for the rest after such harvesting in rainy weather will not walk on the slippery asphalt path.

Drive a little farther and saw near the stop "Veteran" on-site temporary storage of garbage truck running.

Tractor driver Ruslan Tsuranov just uploaded car household waste and waited another.

- Over the weekend, this place is going to waste so much that you need to make eight flights to take out all - says Gabby tractor.

- In the fall gardeners are exempt from the accumulated waste so much on their site - explains the situation to the chief city inspection of Natural Resources and Environment Valery Fando and adds: - Under this brand is clearly discarded household waste and the townspeople who go by. Suppose, just not to clog the urban zone.

We drove on and saw an unauthorized dump not far from another stop - "Ulanovich-1".

- Obviously, some private owner naprokaznichal. Now try to find him - makes the assumption Valery E.. - And most importantly, a hundred meters from the shop that was noticeable!

Had not been cleared of debris and containers in cemeteries in Mazurino, some of which belong to special plant, others - spetsavtabaze. But with such disgrace, which saw in the woods on the way to Gardener's Association "Bibirevka" have not had to meet. The so-called container yard was littered with household waste and whatnot.

A huge dump height of several meters. What is just not there! Polyethylene, old furniture, spoiled apples and even plastic tubes from the toner cartridge refilling ... This is "grown" stationary container yard, which is not a long time, garbage collection. Think about it, if only gardeners left it all "good" on a background of extremely beautiful pine forest! Blame Rubovskogo forestry workers? No. Driving along the road, in other places not seen forest litter and debris.

Chief ecologist associated with the administration of the October District, reported the location of illegal dumps. And the administration, in turn, should instruct utilities to export waste to the landfill.

Think about it. Remove, clean facility, but the most beautiful places around Vitebsk, which are called the "lungs of the city", often neglected. Primarily those who must take care of order and cleanliness on their territory.

As if to confirm these thoughts, confronted here with some facts. Against the gray landscape Valery Fando suddenly noticed something.

- And there, in a ravine near the cemetery, you can see the newly formed dump?

Drew closer. Indeed, such a huge pile of leaves. Waste dumped here obviously out of the park. After some time, our assumptions were confirmed, as appeared on the horizon a tractor with the next full body leaves.

Began to understand, it appears, utility workers decided to use the leaves for compost. And this is the place chosen for its temporary storage. If so, what is wrong? Leaves peregniyut - nature is good. For example, do environmentalists Minsk: in parks and squares decided not to remove the leaves so that they peragnivali and served as fertilizer for trees. Thus preserved ecological balance in nature. We have such a decision is not accepted, but perhaps you should consider its appropriateness. As a result of not suffering nature and do not spend budget money on shipping waste such as leaves to the landfill.
