Minskers have saved 80,000 trees and almost 200,000 liters of clean water this year, thanks to waste separation. Besides, one ton of sorted waste will save 3 barrels of crude oil and 4000 kWh of electric energy. The utility companies together with residents in Minsk plan to collect 6 tons of secondary resources by late 2010. Annually, 650,000 tons of communal waste are produced by Minsk.

Every Minsker disposes of an average of 374 kg of waste, reports Belarus TV.
