Garbage

So many people, so much trash. This lifestyle
that we choose has an impact on our environment
and is too dangerous for both of us.

"Trash situation" in Tajikistan

• Population upsurge, urbanization and
  industrialization lead to the increasing of
  garbage and trash, industrial and agricultural
  wastes. Yearly more than 1,5 mln of solid trash
  are gathered in Tajikistan. Right now
  Tajikistan has more than 20-25 mln of this
  richness. The most popular household waste is
  garbage, plastic and paper items, of course,
  cigarrete litter, etc. The virtual problem is the
  insufficient number of trash warehousings. This
  problem causes a spontaneous founding of trash
  dumps. Some of them are small the others are too
  big. These trash dumps are of great
  epidemiological and ecological danger. Garbage
  causes four-legged problem, thus is rats and
  homeless cats and dogs, which become spreaders of
  infections deceases. In rainy period they become
  sources of air, water and soil pollutions.

"Trash situation" in Gulyakandoz
Throwing trash

• We discussed trash situation in the
  settlement of Proletarsk and the village of
  Gulyakandoz. That discussion made us ashamed. We
  found out that almost all of us are polluting our
  environment. There are no trash containers at the
  streets. Some people gather their household
  wastes in a special yard poles and after filling
  just cover with soil. Others fire the possible
  trash and bury the left. The third gather trash
  in special containers and then throw into a pond.
  And there are people who just throw trash
  wherever they wish to - into the street under
  the neighboring house, before the house gates,
  into the ducts, etc.
• In Proletarsk the situation is almost the same.
  Only people living in the central streets gather
  trash at the top of the streets and early in the
  morning the trash collectors of the local
  communal office collect this trash into the
  tractors, than carry out of the settlement and
  bury in a special place near the pond. The suburb
  streets are highly trashed.
• Its a pity there is no recycling industry in
  our place.

School 16 trash place

• At school every class has a trash can, after
  being filled the can is thrown into the school
  trash place, which is behind the school building,
  near the school restroom. When the trash is
  filled the custodian burns it. Unburnt items are
  buried. But not all the schoolchildren put their
  trash into the trash can, they throw it on the
  ground.
• We think there should be a special subject at
  school teaching us what to do with trash,
  explaining us the trash danger for people and
  nature. There should be special TV and Radio
  programmes explaining the community the same
  things.

Garbage in Shakhrinav
ILC Shakhrinav

• The dump was founded here in 1963 and is
  basically for the inhabitants of Shakhrinav. From
  1978 till 1987 4 nearby areas and communities
  threw their trash there too.
• According to the research of the experts, one
  working inhabitant of Shakhrinav makes 360 kg of
  trash a year. 80 kg of them are biological waste
  products.

• USE OF TRASH
• There is no recycling of trash in our place.
  But they make compost from the collected trash.
  The trash is crushed by special machines and
  transformed into biological compost. Then they
  add some special fertilizings, including a
  fertile soil and plane the mixture. After some
  time various flowers, bushes and trees are
  planted. We couldnt believe that the place we
  were standing was once a dump. Right now it is a
  colorful carpet with trees.
• One of our students wanted to know the process
  of composting the trash was harmful to the
  environment. We were explained that due to the
  technology used here the process of changing the
  mixture into mineral substances will take only
  10-30 years. Natural process of decomposition of
  trash lasts not less than 700 years. Besides the
  technology is of no harm to the environment.
• WHAT DO WE DO WITH TRASH
• Before throwing glass bottles local housewives
  wash them thoroughly. They never mix plastic and
  paper items. The garbage is separately collected.
  And, certainly, will not throw on sidewalk a
  stub or a wrapper from a sweet. Our children
  never throw wrappers and garbage in the street.

The trash should be thrown in a civilized
manner!!!

• We are sure people should be taught what to do
  with garbage. In Vose the household wastes are
  thrown into cans, containers, etc. Then they are
  collected in the trash dumps places and after
  special process are transformed into soil
  fertilizings. There is no recycling industry in
  our places.
