For waste disposal in the region, there is a landfill on the Orsha highway, the main mini-landfill "Borovka", and 15 mini-landfills in rural settlements, serviced by the communal unitary production enterprise of housing and communal services "Lepel" and the communal unitary production enterprise "Borovka". 40 sites have been established for waste collection. Equipment for pressing waste paper and polyethylene packaging is installed at the sorting point.

Three procurement points and 70 trade enterprises, as well as three mobile collectors, accept secondary material resources. 100-tonne vehicle scales have been installed and are operational, along with a equipped site, three warehouses, and two sheds for secondary material resources, and a baling press has been installed. 258.3 tons of waste paper, 62.6 tons of glass waste, 4.4 tons of textiles, 5.1 tons of plastics and polyethylene packaging, 2 tons of rubber-containing waste, and 10 thousand cubic meters of sawdust and wood processing waste have been delivered to processing enterprises.

During inspections of the district program implementation by the district's controlling services for various violations related to the maintenance of territories and unauthorized waste disposal, 321 orders were issued, and 109 protocols were drawn up against legal entities, officials, and citizens. Despite this, the housing and communal services enterprises make mistakes in the removal of solid municipal waste in rural settlements, and the issues of final arrangement of container sites and mini-landfills are not fully resolved. The landfill for the disposal of solid municipal waste on the Orsha highway and the main mini-landfill "Borovka" in the quarry area have exhausted their capacity. The implementation of the environmental education system for the population and the explanation of the importance of separate waste collection require greater persistence.
