Possibilities of industrial solution of the problem of selection and processing of municipal waste

The results of the author's analysis of the problems of selective collection and processing as secondary particularly valuable and environmentally limited types of municipal solid waste (MSW): batteries, polymer materials and glass, are presented. The urgency of these problems is determined by the proclamation of the "garbage reform" in our country in connection with the large accumulation of MSW - up to 65 million per year with 5% recycling. Abroad, the practice of MSW processing with the burial and incineration of only their residual part, which cannot be disposed of, has been established. The prospects of recycling the considered types of MSW as recyclable materials are shown, including the data on mercury lamps, electroplated sludge and effluents, silt sludge from treatment facilities, published earlier in the materials of the Institute of Social, Economic and Energy Problems of the North, Komi Science Centre, Ural Branch, RAS (2018). The effectiveness of this direction in MSW management is ensured by obtaining highly liquid products while reducing negative environmental impacts on the environment by removing particularly dangerous components from the composition of stored MSW. Currently, the implementation of the "garbage reform" is to create a system of "Regional Operators" for the removal and handling of MSW, payment for these services by the population and design the construction of modern waste processing plants in the Moscow region and Tatarstan. The profitability of the garbage business, with limited possibilities for Russian regions to create a sustainable infrastructure for its technological implementation, without state co-financing, can make the process of self-organization, that has begun, unmanageable. The growth of income from the removal of MSW in the absence of processing facilities provokes their disposal in new places, remote from Moscow and St. Petersburg. From these positions, it is recommended to organize network Regional Innovation and Consulting Centers (RICC) responsible for environmental awareness, education and environmental and technological control under the auspices of Rospotrebnadzor (Russian Consumer Supervision). From these positions, the "garbage reform" should be considered as the creation of a new industrial sector for the processing of secondary raw materials (recycling).
