In the Soviet Union, everyone knew where to take the waste paper. The bottle and paper collection point is one of the brightest symbols of the Soviet past, and such points were found everywhere.
Recycling: used to be easier?
Probably, many of us loved the wonderful school tradition - to take waste paper. Remember how we asked mothers and grandmothers to find at home as many unnecessary newspapers, old magazines, exercise books and albums as possible? And when in the course of a desperate struggle, the class together won the competition in terms of the amount handed over - it was a real victory. But an adult modern person often does not even suspect where to send waste paper.
What now?
We receive free newspapers by mail, buy magazines at newsstands, write a lot of diaries, and then just throw it all in a container along with other “garbage”, after which it is burned together with food waste, violating the Earth’s ozone layer. This is partly because many do not know where to take the waste paper in their city. But paper recycling is an essential step towards preserving the environment: in order to produce, for example, cardboard or toilet paper, it is not necessary to destroy trees. In Russia, as well as throughout the world, there are industries that can use recyclables for this. And in the West, even wood products are made from it.
Not every paper will do …
Before you figure out where to take the waste paper in Moscow and St. Petersburg, you should understand what types of recyclables are not suitable for this. You will receive any paper waste: books, magazines, newspapers, notebooks and cardboard. But napkins, disposable tableware made of cardboard, toilet paper, laminated material, watermarked copies belong to the category of "not condition".
There are other nuances. Along with where to take the waste paper, you need to know that if you decide to get rid of wet paper, you must definitely dry it before handing it over. It is also worth considering that various types of paper products are evaluated differently. It is advantageous to pre-sort it by type so that it is not accepted by the pick-up point at the lowest cost.
Large companies that throw out a large amount of paper waste may not even think about where to send the paper: fortunately, for them there are companies specializing in the export of large amounts of recycled materials. But what should ordinary citizens do? Where to take the waste paper?
St. Petersburg - a paradise for the delivery of recyclables!
In the Northern capital a few years ago, the Ecodom project was launched. Special houses appeared in St. Petersburg - new modern recycling centers with specially trained personnel. People who are not indifferent to the future of our planet, now do not need to rack their brains and think about where to return the waste paper to St. Petersburg. Now in the Petrograd district of St. Petersburg there are five such "houses" at the following addresses:
- Gas street, 1a.
- Markina street, 10.
- Monchegorsk street, 7.
- Chkalovsky Prospect, 16.
- Plutalova street, 4.
Of course, the points where they take recyclables exist not only in Petrograd. For a long time, paper can be recycled in almost all corners of the city. Here is a list of just a few places for this:
