The Mekhanobr-Tekhnika Scientific and Production Corporation, in which our interlocutor has been working for many years, is developing technologies and equipment for the mining, metallurgical and chemical industries. But the editors invited him to talk about ... garbage. Since many years ago it became clear that a number of developments for the processing of raw materials are applicable when working with household waste (MSW), and Weisberg, willy-nilly, became a recognized expert among garbage processors.
- Leonid Abramovich, in one of your interviews you said that it is better to do at least something with garbage than to endlessly choose which way is best...
And I'm ready to do it again. I think long conversations are started precisely in order not to change anything. We have already agreed to the moment when any step will be good. And it must be done, otherwise we will drown.
Judge for yourself. We had two large solid waste landfills: Volkhonka and Novoselki. Absolutely uncivilized objects...
The landfill is a chemical reactor. It can be built only in certain places where there are appropriate dense clays. The bottom of the pit must be lined with geotextiles, be sure to lay two pipe systems: to capture methane and to remove the leachate. I saw in Europe at a landfill how this filtrate is collected from the bowels of a landfill: a dark green, thick, like glycerin, liquid. It is taken away in special tanks and processed at special facilities of chemical enterprises. In our country, at best, it flows into drainage ditches ...
But these two large landfills are finally closed. Where to take the waste now?
Near St. Petersburg, one landfill remained uncrowded: “ New World» near Gatchina. Although it is, strictly speaking, not rubber. In addition to it, there are several small ones - in Lepsari, in Vsevolozhsky, Volosovsky, Vyborgsky, Kirishsky districts of the region. They are closed from time to time, but they fight, prolonging their existence...
The region no longer wants to accept the unprocessed waste of the city. And he does it right.
Everyone is talking about the need for recycling...
That's it - they say! But only.
First you need to understand what recycling is. First of all, it is neutralization. The neutralized substance can already be stored in the same landfills without any risk to the environment.
By the way, laws in Europe forbid burying untreated, that is, untreated waste. Various methods of neutralization are used: there are thermal ones (garbage incineration is its special case), there are non-thermal ones ... In Ioannina, for example, at the processing plant No. 2, biological neutralization is used: garbage is placed in huge rotating drums and mixed for 48 hours at +60 degrees. During this time, something happens to him that would have happened on an uncivilized training ground for decades.
Similar equipment is in operation at Plant No. 1 on Volkhonka. It was launched in the early 1970s. And number 2 - in 1994. Both of them together can neutralize at most 20% of all that the city throws out - and this is 1.7 million tons per year.
Haven't we made any progress since Soviet times?
Over the past 15 years, only two notable events have taken place in the waste industry in St. Petersburg. In 2006, the plant in Yanina was reconstructed, increasing its capacity by 1.5 times. And a year and a half ago, the reclamation of the landfill in Novoselki began. All!
More than ten years ago, they were going to build another similar plant next to MPBO-2. Then "Mekhanobr" with the participation of "Giprokhim" made a project that passed the examination and even public hearings. The issue price was approximately 3-3.2 billion rubles. Construction began - a dewatering was done on the territory allotted for the plant, which was also important for the existing enterprise. That's where the project hung.
- Why?
It was a very strange episode. The decision was made by the city leadership, the new plant suddenly seemed unnecessary.
So - only two significant events in 15 years. But there have been so many conversations over the years... The city government approved several concepts for waste management, and they largely repeated each other. Only the years of achieving goals and promising investments changed.
Perhaps the city was waiting for scientists to say their weighty word, waiting for new ideas, new technologies that would finally help solve the problem of recycling...
There are no scientific and technological problems in the recycling of waste for a long time. Scientists have already said all the words. There are many technologies. Each region can make a choice of what to apply, based on their own characteristics.
In St. Petersburg, industrial waste disposal has always been discussed in all concepts - composting, that is, mechanical and biological technology, and to some extent the thermal path, that is, incineration. This path was drawn in the first concept: they say, by 2020 we will process 80% of MSW in one way or another. The deadline has now been pushed back to 2035.
- "Incineration" sounds scary. Do you have a positive attitude towards him?
How can technology be viewed positively or negatively? It's technology! I know that you can make a very bad incinerator. And you can - a good one that will not bring any harm.
These are technological, engineering issues - until there is a project with all the details on the table, an expert opinion on it, there is no point in talking about anything.
Ecologists say the world is refusing to burn...
Some ecologists say one thing, others - another. It is only necessary to understand who exactly calls himself an ecologist. I am glad that there are people who care about what happens to nature. Taking off my hat!
But incineration plants still appear in the world, and environmental movements somehow subside.
I have not come across a single foreign publication that speaks of a fundamental rejection of incineration: the industry has been built and is working. If there are such publications, I would be glad to see them.
In the meantime, there are waste incinerators in the center of Vienna, and in the center of Tokyo, and in general in Japan, about one and a half thousand waste incinerators. Note that this does not prevent the growth of life expectancy of people either in Austria, or in Japan, or throughout Europe.
Let's get closer to our native land.
Let's. There are four waste incinerators in Moscow. Including near the center - on the street Podolsky Cadets, right in West Biryulyovo. There is constant monitoring. Well, there are no excesses of MPC!
By the way, do you know that there are already waste incinerators in St. Petersburg?
Of course. As many as three. They were built and operated by Vodokanal. Burns sewage sludge.
Exactly. The plants operate at the Central and Northern aeration stations and at the South-Western sewage treatment plants. The process includes dewatered sludge incineration and flue gas cleaning.
The factories have been in operation for many years. Something is not heard that one of the environmental activists raised a fuss because of exceeding the MPC. Let's observe, monitor emissions... They are silent. I think if there were problems, there would be a serious conversation. In any case, it is better to burn the dried contents of the sewer than to accumulate in maps, as in the north of the city and in Holguin: extremely odorous places.
And what is really deadly is the uncontrolled, open burning of garbage, which many of our neighbors in their summer cottages sin, and sometimes entire gardening. You will see - warn them that they are killing themselves and their children, and along with you and me.
Why, then, is incineration not used more widely in our country?
It has a significant drawback: it is the most expensive processing technology. And it is not easy to bring it to profitability, to payback.
Real savings are obtained in the full cycle, when the costs of placing incineration residues at landfills are minimized, when there is no need to spend money on their maintenance and subsequent reclamation. Actually, in this case, the horror called “polygons” actually disappears, which have nowhere to be placed in the city and which the region no longer wants to have.
If our population is wary of incineration - and no one is doing explanatory work! - then let's build factories using any other technology. Nobody says that burning is the only and irreplaceable thing.
And what are the other options?
We have already spoken about mechanical-biological technology. She has been with us for decades. And that is what we put into the project of our plant for Yanina.
In addition, for example, I really like the experiment that Spetstrans No. 1 implemented in the city on Old Believer Street.
Heaps of waste turn into good fuel briquettes. It is necessary to enrich the garbage: that is, choose stones, estimates, non-combustible inclusions. Thus, its calorific value will be close to the level of low-grade coal. And then: compress and give to cement manufacturers.
Such briquettes may well be used in clinker firing as an auxiliary fuel. During firing, fresh lime is formed. And lime is a colossal absorbent. It takes on all the negative gases that can be formed during combustion.
In Europe, cement companies already take such briquettes. They taught them gradually. At first they gave away pressed garbage for free (they even paid extra somewhere). Then they started setting conditions. And now factories are buying it. This allows them to save up to 60% of quality fuel.
"Spetstrans" a few years ago made a demonstration installation of this method. I wish them to agree with cement workers. We have so many cement plants in the region that half of the city's garbage would go there.
Has it been several years? And what, manufacturers of cement are still not interested?
Interested. Experimental batches of briquettes have been made. Factories have tried... But, I say again, we need political will and incentive measures from the state.
So we have a choice of technologies. But there is no movement. Right now, in these very days, the city is saying goodbye to the last prospective investor - the Greek consortium Helector S.A. - Aktor Concessions S.A. - AKTOR S.A., which planned to build a processing plant in Kamenka. They fiddled with it for more than seven years - and the site was allocated, and the whole committee prepared tons of papers and approvals all these years. Nothing ended!
Maybe precisely because there is no profit from garbage?
Without special additional measures, of course, it cannot be obtained. This is not a "bonanza", as ignorant citizens like to say. The main income of scavengers is the tariff that you and I pay. This is money that should be enough for the entire chain: from the bag of garbage that we take out of the house, the maintenance of garbage sites in the yards, to the transportation, processing and disposal of safe, neutralized residues. And, of course, it is necessary to pledge profit, which should pay back the investment, that is, the initially invested funds.
One more thing. No one today is obliged to carry garbage to a particular plant. The management company can conclude an agreement with any carrier that offers the best conditions. This is a threat to the investor who built the plant. He invested money, he will sit and wait for the garbage to be brought to him. And if the garbage is not brought ...
The American garbage man, if he wants to scare the recycler, says: you will not get garbage from me. It sounds unpleasant for an investor, there have already been such cases in our city. A serious investor will certainly set a condition for the city to provide him with the necessary amount of waste-raw materials. Accordingly, in this case, he is guaranteed to get a part of the tariff that we pay with you.
Leonid Abramovich, maybe separate garbage collection is a way out? They say that as soon as citizens mature to separate collection, then immediately everything will be fine, and garbage will begin to make a profit ...
Conversations on this topic are somewhat speculative. Full separate garbage collection, as many people understand it, is impossible and unnecessary. That is my opinion.
Having established the best separate collection, we will still get this: 20 - 30% of selected food waste subject to mandatory disposal, 20 - 30% of commercial (useful) fractions of various contamination, and even up to 50% of other garbage, which is also desirable to neutralize. You see, in this case, investments in further processing and disposal are still required.
AT Western Europe separate collection is degrading. I started watching the process about 25 years ago. What happened there! At first, garbage sites were equipped with video surveillance to see how the population behaves. And now, according to experts, the mutual contamination of fractions there is 30 - 35%. That is, the garbage collected separately is brought to the plant and ... they start sorting again.
The thing is that high-tech installations have long appeared that sort garbage better and more accurately than we do at home. Therefore, there is no need for separate collection. Many years ago, we successfully tested the sorting plant at MPBO-2 in Ioannina.
And now I'm probably going to tell a lot of the news. In St. Petersburg, there has long been a separate collection of garbage, though not very conspicuous. At the first stage (from the garbage can or even before it), recyclables are already removed - all useful fractions: clean paper, metal, everything that can be handed over ... Here you don’t need to do anything, everything has been working for a long time, by itself. It works insofar as the reception of this recyclable material is organized.
The second stage is at marshalling yards, which are available for all self-respecting carriers. They bring garbage to such stations on a short arm, re-sort it, extract what is useful, the rest is pressed and already transported over long distances: either to a landfill or to a processing plant.
If a business wants some kind of separate collection for itself, let it go to sorting and buy raw materials there. Or works with the population, buying useful factions from them. I don't see any problems that need to be talked about loudly.
I remember that a few years ago it was about the need to separately collect even different types plastic: bags, bottles like this, bottles like that ...
There are already technologies that allow you to separate plastic into types with an efficiency of 99% right at the plant, as well as technologies that allow you to process all types of plastic together. Our plant in Ioannina, by the way, has long been selling plastic for processing in this way - by the total mass.
Plastic is recycled to produce low quality products. Our technologies include the production of plastic tiles for non-residential buildings. It is also acceptable to make plumbing plastic pipes.
It turns out that all these rows of tanks: "glass", "paper", "plastic" - is it an unnecessary decoration of the yard?
I can only say that there are not many substances that really need to be collected separately: batteries, accumulators, fluorescent lamps and containers for combustible substances (lubricants, oils, coolants ...). Getting into the total mass of waste, these substances make any further processing technology dangerous. This is perhaps the only thing that citizens must strictly observe.
I once saw how a nanny from kindergarten she pushed fluorescent lamps with her feet into the container with the rest of the garbage. Did she not understand what she was doing?
For the sake of fairness: a lot of city dwellers have long brought boxes at home where they put batteries and other things from your list, so that later they can be handed over, as expected, to an eco-mobile or eco-box ... And the rest - are there any prospects for solving the garbage problem in the city? ?
I hope this issue will become one of the main ones for the administration of St. Petersburg. Now, in my opinion, there are elements of confusion in the waste industry of the city. Hazardous and construction waste is handled by the Committee for Nature Management, utility - by the Committee for Improvement. And there is also medical waste - a considerable amount, by the way. They are stored and disposed of separately. They are the responsibility of the health committee. How can he answer. border between various types waste is hard to handle...
Probably, the concept of waste management in our city will be clarified. And perhaps even another plant will be built in Ioannina. The one that was abandoned more than ten years ago. The first one is successful: it makes a profit and can already develop itself to some extent.
Now the State Duma has postponed for a while the transition of the waste industry to the so-called single operator. Which gives us the opportunity to prepare for this radical, but important and correct reform.
The material was published in the newspaper "Saint Petersburg Vedomosti" No. 008 (6361) dated 01/18/2019.Leonid Abramovich, you have repeatedly said that the situation with waste processing in St. Petersburg is gradually changing for the worse. Could you list the main problems that, in your opinion, allow such a conclusion?
It is really changing for the worse, because, like any system of urban infrastructure, no less important than energy, than water supply and sanitation, than the road network, than bridges and tunnels, waste processing also requires attention. If you do not pay due attention and do not respond in time to challenges, then you gradually accumulate them - and the situation becomes worse. Just like a person when he is unwell: if you do not start treating him at an early stage, then gradually his condition will worsen.
There is such a completely mismanaged, fantastically ugly way as the removal and dumping of waste at a landfill, which is culturally called a landfill, but in fact is an elementary garbage dump.
In St. Petersburg, two waste processing plants were built in the old days. One of them was in the 1970s, and it was a unique plant for Russia with such fantastic things that we can only dream of now. You will not believe it, but pneumatic transport led to it from the Predportovaya platform, very far, about 7 kilometers. That is, the garbage trucks were unloaded in the area of the current Predportovaya platform - and further along the large-diameter pneumatic transport, the garbage went through the pipes to the plant on Volkhonka. It was dismantled, but even now in some places you can still see the remains of the foundations for these structures.
The second plant in difficult times, by the decision of Anatoly Sobchak, was financed and built in Yanino. There was a mechanical-biological technology, by the way, the same as at the first plant. But it was fresh and modern. Then, already in the time of Yakovlev, they began to design its development, and under Valentina Ivanovna (Matvienko. - Ed.) They launched an increased capacity.
Since then, several concepts have been written, several models of waste management, but things are not moving, because in order for it to move, at least something needs to be changed and something needs to be done.
Recycling is a fundamental thing because it gives you what is called decontamination. But there is such a completely mismanaged, fantastically ugly way as the removal and dumping of waste at a landfill, which is culturally called a landfill, but in fact is an elementary garbage dump. None of the polygons that exist in Russian Federation, does not meet modern environmental standards, such as those adopted in the European Union. There is no interception of effluents saturated with heavy metals, where the entire periodic table is, there is no collection of methane, dercaptan and other odorous gases.
But in this way, we also ran into a wall. Even for such a completely uncivilized way of storing untreated waste, there is no longer a place in St. Petersburg. Novoselki must be closed, Volkhonka is on fire, it must be closed immediately. There is one training ground - the New World in Gatchina. But the whole city cannot be closed on one polygon. The same applies to him as to everyone else, but at least he can function, although he has also reached an incredible height. The polygon area does not provide ; she does not want St. Petersburg to take out waste so uncontrollably.
The city now resembles a certain hostess who, while cleaning the apartment, sweeps the garbage with a broom under the sofa. It seems clean, only the sofa needs to be raised - and see what is really happening.
Recycle where, at what enterprises? They are not here. The city says: give me an investor. Investors come, talk, get some fantastic conditions from the city, the city makes these concessions, they still don't build anything and disappear. We have already heard about five or six such visits. I even participated in some. Either a French company comes, or a Japanese one. Then there was Swedish, then they fiddled with Greek for a long time.
Neutralization technologies - they are really more expensive. Investors want this money back. This means that you provide for a certain component in the tariff for the return - and you need to increase the tariff for the population. The rate is very high. It depends on how many years you want to depreciate the business. They want the plant to pay off in 7-8 years. Well, of course, then the tariffs will be crazy. The normal European payback period is at least 12-15 years and up to 20 years. Over the years, it can pay off at normal rates.
We are all concerned about hazardous waste. Let's say the story of Krasny Bor. It was the city's landfill. Why haven't they taken it seriously for many years? It turned out that the project was a hacky one, and they built it like a blunder. For 20 years, it was possible to build a plant and forget about it, close the issue. But you see, things have come to a scandal - what to do with Krasny Bor.
Or take the medical waste management system. She is also far from transparent in the city. And we see in household waste, when we carry out its morphological analysis, up to one percent of the waste associated with medical institutions.
These problems are growing and put the city to a standstill. No place to recycle, no place to store. This is gradual, I won't say catastrophic - it's not like in Naples, where the army had to be raised to take out the garbage, clean the city - but it's getting worse. The city now resembles a certain hostess who, while cleaning the apartment, sweeps the garbage with a broom under the sofa. It seems clean, only the sofa needs to be raised - and see what is really happening.
And how did it happen that St. Petersburg from one of the leaders in the field of waste processing came to this situation that we have now?
I think that this problem has never been among the first and most important for the authorities. It was underestimated. Petersburg was indeed a pioneer; it built two exemplary plants for the country, which could be improved. Petersburg has a unique science in this regard, there are several teams here - both scientific and design, which can design the most modern and inexpensive waste processing plant using the most advanced technologies in the world. I won't name them, but there are 5-6 such teams in St. Petersburg, which can participate in competitions, compete with each other, compete. That is, there is no monopoly here. There are remarkable specialists in this field in St. Petersburg who have been keeping this problem under their belt for many years and know it well, in detail - both the economic side and the practical one. The same carriers are highly qualified.
But, apparently, it was still believed that it was important to develop the energy sector, it was important to develop the road network, it was important to build interchanges, but here we will somehow survive on the residual principle.
Waste management is included in certain documents and strategies. But there are very few points where one could put a "bird", close the issue, say: done, done once and for all.
It is just necessary for the political will to appear, so that someone who is responsible for this issue in the city would say: everyone, guys, today we should start resolving this issue and such and such resolutions should be issued within a week. It's not that hard, to be honest. By the way, this question hangs in the region.
But I know examples of cities that are actively involved in this and are doing something. Including Moscow and the Moscow Region look much more energetic against our background.
- Are they building new businesses?
They are building, they have agreements with investors in the form of large state-owned companies. Rostec will build in the Moscow region. There are companies in Moscow that deal with industrial waste, hazardous waste. That is, nothing is out of sight.
Let's get back to the economic component. We are often told that recycling is profitable, that waste is a commodity, that it can be recycled, gas can be burned and electricity can be generated. Why don't we have all this in reality?
The phrase: “Garbage is a commodity” belongs to me, and she is probably already 15-16 years old. I must tell you that just this part - it works. Our carriers turned out to be quite literate people and realized that if they sort waste and choose the business part, which, according to various estimates, reaches from 15 to 22% on average, then, firstly, they will carry less. And they will also pay less for placement at the landfill. But that's not all. They also sold recycled goods. And they took the money initially from the management company for the transportation of the entire mass of garbage. That is, they received additional income from the money they received, in addition to their planned profit.
Even sorting as the first step is a profitable business. By the way, it has not yet been determined how legally they have the right to do this, since it is not clear who owns the waste. If the city said: “This is mine” - and you earn money on it, then excuse me, reduce your tariffs by this amount. You will receive additional income through the sale of recycled materials. But this issue is not regulated.
As for gas and electricity generation, I would be quite skeptical, to be honest, because in Russia this is not very relevant, we have something to generate electricity on. In poor Europe, which seizes every chance, garbage is really an element of alternative energy. But not in Russia. With our prices for electricity, which we get from gas, the energy of burning garbage will be expensive. Moreover, even in Europe it is subsidized. The energy that is obtained from the burning of garbage is really more expensive than the one they have in the networks. They force wholesalers, who buy electricity, transport it and sell it to consumers, to buy from scavengers at a higher price. Its share of 5-6% is smeared and does not really raise the cost of all electricity.
But we really have no one generates. If there was a question about building waste incineration plant, it could generate. And collecting at the landfill is more expensive for yourself. Imagine you put a cap on the landfill and collect methane. This is cultural, this is civilized, but its maximum will be enough for the needs of the landfill to ensure the functioning of some kind of life, office there. This must be done, because otherwise methane escapes into the atmosphere and into our lungs. But to say that here we will catch a big profit, it is impossible.
- That is, in any case, residents will pay for new processing technologies?
Residents pay for everything. Whatever you take, the end user pays for everything. He pays for water, for the fact that they sent clean water, and, of course, he will always pay for garbage. Another thing is that in different ways. For example, if we are talking about recyclables, today they are sorted out, but the recycling business itself is marginal. There is not a very large percentage earned. To incentivize the processor, there will be a deposit on tires, on furniture, on everything. We will pay in advance, buying an object, for its funeral, for its future disappearance from our lives. But who will pay? Again the consumer. Even for a jar of yogurt, some penny will be added for the fact that it will be disposed of on time and correctly.
- Let's talk about the reform of household waste management, which is underway at the federal level and involves the creation of unified waste operators. Do you think it will somehow help solve existing problems?
I am skeptical about this. The only sensible thing that has been done is the introduction of some fees for the circulation of secondary products that should go off the market, something that we just talked about. This will give some incentive to the processor if this fund works in a targeted manner.
And the introduction of one regulator, two regulators ... I do not believe that by rearranging the chairs, one can solve problems. Well, where will the factories come from? This is a typical echo of the Soviet era: it was necessary to decide something - they created a ministry. It is necessary to build enterprises, it is necessary to build polygons, then everything will be decided without any single operator.
Do existing technologies make it possible to get away from waste disposal? And what can we come to as a result of their implementation?
In fact, there are no technological problems in this case. We have a certain ecological trend that likes to scare the population by burning garbage. Although, in fact, modern combustion is part of the best available technology and can be applied in the same way as a plant in the center of the beautiful Vienna. I was at this plant and admired this building on the banks of the Danube. It heats the water in Vienna's ring hot water system.
Don't want burning? No need. There is a mechanical-biological technology, there are others. You just have to want to solve the problem.
The waste plant is an expensive facility. It costs 600-700 euros per ton of annual output. If you want to build a plant with a capacity of 350,000 tons, as our investor wanted, you get 245 million euros.
Here is just one of modern trends. We have a fairly large volume of cement production in the Leningrad region. Cement is produced with enormous energy costs. There are long rotary kilns where the clinker is fired. Basically, it is sintered on natural gas, it is possible on diesel fuel. But now abroad began to actively use garbage for this. It is first sorted, low-calorie fractions are removed from there, the calorie content is increased, in essence, new fuel is prepared from garbage. It is called RDF in the West (Refuse derived fuel - fuel extracted from garbage. - Ed.). You get the calorific value of brown coal approximately. Why is it interesting to burn it there? When you produce cement, one of the clinker elements produces a large number of lime. And lime has a colossal absorbent capacity. And you don't have exhaust on the pipe, you don't have to build some fantastic gas treatment at a garbage plant.
The waste plant is an expensive facility. It costs 600-700 euros per ton of annual output. If you want to build a plant with a capacity of 350,000 tons, as our investor wanted, you get 245 million euros. But here 70 million are occupied by gas cleaning systems. If you make RDF and go to the cement workers, you don't need to build anything at all. They incur some costs for altering the supply system to the furnace, but then they save up to 8% on fuel and pay for their alterations. Moreover, there is an entrepreneur in the city, one of our respected scavengers, who made such a demonstrative site.
Here, of course, there are difficulties - it's all good if you managed to separate hazardous waste at the entrance to the garbage stream, if you are used to the fact that you don’t throw batteries there, fluorescent lamps that contain mercury, containers stained with oil products - flooded oil into the engine and threw the can. Our population, unfortunately, is not yet accustomed to this.
Second question. If we don’t get all the flow into RDF, which can be, given that cement production volumes fluctuate depending on the market and there are recessions and falls, then, of course, we need to build a normal waste processing plant. But why are we always looking for an investor? Why not build a normal plant for budget money?
We had such a task under Valentina Ivanovna. We have designed a plant, exemplary, from my point of view. Moreover, we were paid for that project. We took him through the state expertise, and we took him through public hearings. I am referring to the doubling of the plant in Yanino. And then something happened that I call a designer's dream, when you were paid for the project and are not being built. Only we were not looking for this happiness, we were ready to build.
It cost 3.5 billion rubles. Since then, 10 years have passed, well, let it now cost twice as much, although there was not a single piece of imported equipment, everything was domestic, our factories would be loaded. Let 7 billion, but the tariff would not have risen. We didn't need to recoup anything if the city had been built for budget money. This means that the tariff would include only the operational component. It's also beneficial.
No funds in the budget? Well, issue a loan, appeal to the population, so that the population acts as a collective investor, for example. Say: you will receive this money from yourself, you pay for the garbage. But you will get them with a large percentage later. I would buy.
