landfills and the rest is burned in 3 existing waste burners, or
recycled (negligible). Currently, over 60% of landfills around
Moscow are already full and remaining will be filled within the
next 5 years.
– Besides, all landfills located within new territories, recently
added to Moscow are closing now.
– The city government aims to utilize or burn 60-65% of the city
waste by 2015, with the rest going to landfills.
