Surveillance Cameras Set Up Near Trash Bins in Yakutsk to Catch Offenders
In Yakutsk, the city's Outer Administration has installed surveillance cameras at solid waste disposal sites as part of the "Safe City" hardware-software complex. These cameras aim to identify individuals who improperly dispose of waste that is not solid communal waste (SCW) at public sanitation points.
Individuals caught violating these waste disposal rules will face administrative penalties in accordance with Article 8.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The fines for these infractions vary based on the violator's status:
- Citizens: 2,000 to 3,000 rubles
- Officials: 10,000 to 30,000 rubles
- Entrepreneurs: 30,000 to 50,000 rubles
- Legal entities: 100,000 to 250,000 rubles
As of now, the Regional Operator has prepared over 20 cases against individuals disposing of non-SCW in unauthorized locations, which have been sent to oversight agencies for action.
With the approach of spring, the volume of waste disposal by the population has significantly increased, mainly comprised of construction waste and old tires, none of which is classified as solid communal waste.
The Regional Operator "YakutskEcoseti" is accountable for collecting, transporting, and processing only SCW. Both containers and platforms are intended for collecting SCW, which is waste generated as a result of human activity in residential premises, as well as goods that have lost their consumer properties.
While the Safe City complex has been employed in various Russian cities for surveillance and security purposes, the specific application of this system to waste management in Yakutsk is not extensively detailed in the available materials. For authoritative information regarding the effectiveness and impact of these initiatives, it would be necessary to consult local government reports, official Yakutsk municipal websites, or press releases related to Safe City and waste management initiatives.
