“If in 2012 we had no more than 100 landfills, today there are 240 of them... In particular, the construction of two landfills has been completed in the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics. By the end of the year, it is planned to equip five more,” Shoigu said.

He added that the new facilities have significantly improved equipment and conditions for the accommodation and work of personnel.
