Fire at waste disposal sites in Novorossiysk and Gelendzhik disrupts trash collection services
The fire at the Terra-N solid waste landfill in an unspecified region is currently being managed by the local Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Ministry of Environment. The blaze, approximately 900 square meters in size, is being actively combated with significant resources, including 29 personnel and 19 units of special equipment.
To address the temporary difficulties caused by the fire, waste from Novorossiysk is being diverted to a landfill in the Temruguksky District. This measure is intended to alleviate the challenges in waste removal, but it will increase the time required for waste removal from the Terra-N landfill.
It's important to note that this diversion of waste is not related to the ongoing efforts to combat the fire at the Terra-N landfill. The fire itself will not be affected by the diversion of waste from Novorossiysk.
Despite the challenges, the usual service schedule for waste removal may be affected. However, the diversion of waste from Novorossiysk is not expected to lead to delays in the usual service schedule at the Terra-N solid waste landfill.
On a positive note, a forest fire near Gelendzhik, previously reported by "Live Kuban", has been contained and is no longer a concern.
The Terra-N landfill has temporarily ceased accepting new waste due to the fire. Efforts are underway to extinguish the fire by covering it with soil. The diversion of waste from Novorossiysk to the landfill in the Temruguksky District is not expected to impact the ongoing efforts to extinguish the fire at the Terra-N solid waste landfill.
In conclusion, the fire at the Terra-N solid waste landfill is being actively managed, and efforts are being made to mitigate the temporary difficulties it has caused. The diversion of waste from Novorossiysk is a temporary measure aimed at alleviating these challenges, and it is not expected to significantly impact the usual service schedule at the Terra-N landfill.
