The first proposal concerns the ability for citizens to monitor the status of recycling collection points, leave comments on their operations, and suggest new locations for containers.

The second suggestion is to add to the map portal Photos of the containers for each collection point. This will help Muscovites better navigate and understand what the eco-points look like and where they are located.
