Containers for separate waste collection were installed on the campus of Vyatka State University

In the courtyard of the VyatSU campus, a mesh container for collecting plastic marked 01 and 02 was installed, and in dormitories and buildings - 6 eco-bins for collecting plastic and waste paper

Containers and bins for the campus were donated by the Kuprit company. All collected garbage will be disposed of and recycled.

The installation of new containers is the second step towards separate waste collection at Vyatka State University. In 2019, boxes for waste paper were installed in all university buildings: during the session, its weight reaches 4 tons.

Alexey Korzovatykh, head of the economic department of Vyatka State University:

    "This stage to garbage sorting is an experiment. While we collect only waste paper and plastic marked 01 and 02, this is easier to figure out. But all the garbage for sorting must be prepared: you need to remove the labels from the bottles and wash the container from the inside."

The group of plastics labeled 01 and 02 includes most plastic bottles, shampoo and detergent bottles, disposable food containers and plastic bags.

In the future, bins for separate waste collection are planned to be installed in other buildings of Vyatka State University.
