Ministry of Ecology to Trial Automated System Against Illegal Dumpsites in Nizhny Novgorod

In an effort to combat illegal dumpsites and enhance regional environmental safety, the Ministry of Ecology will trial an automated system starting October 2025. The trial aims to determine if the system can effectively expand its use and hold vehicle owners accountable for pollution caused by illegal dumping.

The system, set to launch in October 2025, will employ a mix of fixed, portable, and mobile camera units for photo and video recording. These units will monitor unauthorized waste disposal violations, aiding authorities in their mission to curb illegal dumping. As of October 2023, it remains unclear which specific agency in Nizhny Novgorod will oversee this CCTV surveillance. Typically, local authorities or specialized environmental inspections handle such tasks in Russia.

The upcoming trial of the automated system in Nizhny Novgorod marks a significant step towards tackling illegal dumpsites and improving regional environmental safety. By using a combination of camera units and holding vehicle owners accountable, authorities aim to create a cleaner, safer region.
