In 2024, active work was carried out in Almaty to modernize container sites and replace old metal containers with modern plastic buried models. These 3 m3 containers provide a reduction in storage areas, blocking unpleasant odors and animal access, and ease of use due to fire-resistant and moisture-proof materials.
As of today, 1,454 container platforms have been installed in the city, of which 287 are of the buried type.
In order to develop an ecological culture in Almaty, there are 8 integrated recycling collection points, including EcoSen ecostations and the Econetwork Ecohub. More than 1,300 mesh containers have been installed to collect "dry" waste fractions, and 53 fandomats have been launched since the beginning of the year to receive plastic and aluminum beverage cans.
The waste sorting complex of Green Recycle LLP processes up to 550 thousand tons of waste per year. In the first 11 months of 2024, 15.2% of waste was recycled, which corresponds to 74,637 tons of recycled materials.
In general, 100% coverage for the collection and removal of solid waste from the population is provided in the city. Waste disposal services are provided by 21 garbage collection organizations. A total of 283 units of special equipment are involved.
These efforts are aimed at creating an effective waste management system that meets international standards and improving environmental safety for Almaty residents.
