June 18, 2026 18:17 Incidents A camera trap recorded an illegal waste dump in the forest fund area in the Balakhna district. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Forestry of the Nizhny Novgorod region. Cameras were installed at the site of an unauthorized solid municipal waste dump in the local forestry. The lens captured two men arriving in a truck. Before unloading, they removed the state registration plates, after which they dumped the garbage right in the forest.
Thanks to the timely installation of camera traps, the actions of the offenders were fully recorded, including the moment of removing and installing the license plates, the ministry stated.
A request has been sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to identify the owner of the truck. An administrative investigation is underway. The offenders face administrative or criminal liability, as well as the obligation to compensate for the damage caused to nature. It is specified that since the beginning of summer, the forest protection service has initiated four administrative cases for dumping garbage in the forest brought in by vehicles. In addition to compensating for the damage, the violators must pay a fine ranging from 40,000 rubles. Earlier, we reported that the Nizhny Novgorod Traffic Police doubled the collection of fines through photo enforcement systems. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
