The "Years of War" fountain complex on Poklonnaya Gora has begun preparations for winter. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.

"City services specialists have begun preparing the 'Years of War' fountain complex on Poklonnaya Gora for winter. It is one of the largest fountains in the capital. It was opened in 1995 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War. First, the structure will be thoroughly cleaned using brushes, high-pressure cleaners, and a special solution. This process will take five days and will involve five teams and the same number of street cleaners. Once the cleaning is complete, we will begin conservation work on the fountain, which includes removing the nozzles and underwater lights, installing plugs and protective elements in the bowls," said Pyotr Biryukov.

The "Years of War" fountain complex is located on the main avenue of Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill. It consists of five identical rectangular bowls made of dark red granite. Each contains 45 vertical jets of water. There are 225 of them in total—the number of weeks the Great Patriotic War lasted.

City Services specialists replaced the asphalt pavement on Kashirskoye Highway, one of the main thoroughfares in the south of the capital. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.

"Maintaining the capital's roads in good condition is a particular priority. Every year, in preparation for the autumn and winter, we organize asphalt pavement renovations. We've also completed road repairs on Kashirskoye Highway. In total, we've repaired over 320,000 square meters of road between the Kashirsky Tunnel and Marshal Zakharov Street, as well as a section of the highway's alternate road," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

Repairs were previously carried out here in 2021. The coating's warranty period had expired, and heavy traffic on the roadway had caused damage and rutting in places, negatively impacting road safety.

The repairs were carried out in several stages. First, specialists milled the existing pavement, then repaired the inspection manholes and storm drain grates. Next, they laid new asphalt, and finally, applied road markings. The work was carried out primarily at night, when traffic is lighter, with partial traffic restrictions.

For asphalt paving, the city utilizes modern technologies and its own asphalt concrete mixes, produced at city-owned plants. Together, these plants produce over two million tons of mix per season.

As part of the "Moscow EcoPoints" project, which launched last fall, used pill blister packs are now being accepted for recycling.

"Currently, there are approximately 600 collection points for various types of recyclable materials in the capital. Expanding the list of accepted fractions is an important step in developing a culture of separate collection. According to analytics, billions of pharmaceutical packages are produced in Russia annually, approximately 60 percent of which are in blister packs. This is a complex type of waste, however, with the materials it contains taking approximately 700 years to decompose. By separating waste, we prevent soil and water pollution, prevent harm to the health of animals, birds, and humans, and return valuable resources to the production cycle," she noted.

Yulia Urozhaeva, head of the capital's Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection.

Blister packaging combines plastic and aluminum foil, so it shouldn't be recycled with regular household waste. Without separate collection, it ends up in landfills, where it takes hundreds of years to decompose, causing serious damage to the ecosystem.

Now Muscovites have a convenient way to dispose of this waste. The resulting recyclable materials will be returned to the economy. This was made possible thanks to joint efforts. Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection of the City of Moscow and the Greenbox social project. Currently, 45 publicly accessible blister pack collection points have been installed in the capital. The containers are located throughout the city, including in the most popular locations: pharmacies, medical centers, and clinics. By the end of 2026, the number of blister pack collection points is planned to double.

Separate blister collection first became available to Moscow residents in 2021, and the initiative subsequently expanded to the Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Voronezh, Ryazan, and Ivanovo. However, the capital remains the leader in terms of coverage, housing almost half of all collection points in the country.

In 2024, thanks to the participation of city residents, 1.2 tons of blisters were collected and recycled. This figure is projected to exceed two tons in 2025 and reach four tons in 2026. The collected materials are transferred to the National Ecological Company LLC for processing, where polymers (approximately 92.5 percent) and aluminum (approximately 7.5 percent) are extracted. The recycled materials are used, for example, in the production of plastic sewer pipes.

The "Moscow Ecopoints" project is extremely popular among Moscow residents. In addition to blister packs from medications, residents can donate clothing, textiles, tires, electronics, and books. A special interactive map is available.project website allows you to quickly find the nearest collection point and select the desired fraction of recyclable materials. This year, Moscow residents collected over 1,000 tons of clothing, over 460 kilograms of car tires, and approximately 26 tons of electronic scrap.

More than 1,200 abandoned cars in the capital have been removed for recycling, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Urban Development. Petr Biryukov.

"As of July 1, 2025, the regional operator, JSC Ecotechprom, began implementing another important task: ensuring the recycling of abandoned vehicles. Since the start of the experiment, over 1,200 vehicles deemed abandoned by court orders have been removed from designated parking lots," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

Abandoned vehicles are those that remain unattended on public property for extended periods of time. These include, for example, vehicles that are severely damaged after an accident and beyond repair. They occupy useful public space—yards, roadways, and parking spaces—and impede pedestrian and vehicle access, including emergency vehicles. Furthermore, abandoned vehicles can become a source of fire or a storage site for prohibited items.

When abandoned vehicles are discovered, a special commission is created to try to identify the owner. If no owner is found, the vehicle is towed to a designated parking lot. After this, a court ruling declares it ownerless and sends it for disposal.
