For flower beds and tire fences will now be fined: an innovation of 2021
Once upon a time, back in Soviet times, there was a fashion for decorative fences and flower beds from old car tires. They were buried halfway into the ground or simply placed on the surface and painted in all the colors of the rainbow. For lack of anything better, these compositions were pleasing to the eye and brought at least some variety to the gray reality. And the fences made of them are relatively safe - you dig in the yard, and even if you hit it with a car, it won't cause much harm. Convenient and, most importantly, completely free. But now the holiday is over - they will be fined for flower beds and fences made of car tires.
What's the matter and how much is the fine?
The fact is that automobile rubber causes great harm to nature. It contains carcinogenic substances, some of which have a decomposition period of over 100 years. All of this will eventually end up in the soil, groundwater, and reservoirs. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation has fought for a ban on the use of automobile tires for other purposes for several years. In the first year of 2021, the officials of this department have achieved their goal.
From this year, it is forbidden to use car tires for the manufacture of any fences, flower beds, sculptures, children's attractions and sports simulators; use them to strengthen coastlines. For violations of this law (Part 1 of Article 8.2 of the Administrative Code), the following fines are imposed:
- Individuals who own land plots will pay up to 2 thousand rubles for the initial violation. rubles; for repeated - 3 thousand. rubles.
- Legal entities face a pecuniary punishment of $ 100,000 to $ 250,000. rubles.
Do tires installed before the law need to be removed?
It will not work to say that the tires were installed before the introduction of the law. Car tires located on the owner's territory in violation of the requirements of the law will have to be removed. Law enforcers in any case, warning or immediately fining, will force to do it. So if you are not informed about this law, and there are any structures made of old automobile rubber on your site, get rid of them in order to avoid trouble.
