Kurgan region may ban parking near garbage containers

The Kurgan Regional Duma discussed the problem of parked cars in courtyards blocking garbage trucks from accessing containers. The conversation was initiated by the regional waste management operator «Chisty Gorod», according to the Duma«s press service.

In Kurgan, there are more than 800 container sites, and access to them is regularly blocked by residents« personal cars, explained representatives of »Chisty Gorod«. The company identified 29 most problematic spots where the garbage collection schedule is constantly disrupted. The specialized vehicles simply cannot pass between the cars.

«Chisty Gorod» proposed a radical solution: amend the Kurgan region«s »Code of Administrative Offenses«. The essence of their proposal is to introduce fines for those who park near the bins or even tow such vehicles. This idea has already been supported by the municipal authorities of Kurgan and Shadrinsk.

The Chairman of the Regional Duma, Dmitry Frolov, noted that a solution must be found that does not contradict federal legislation. At the national level, the introduction of liability for such violations is only being discussed.

In the meantime, as one of the options to solve the problem, meeting participants proposed installing no-parking signs near container sites. The issue will be discussed in detail by the committee on legislation and state construction.
