Car recycling process. Veterinary rules for the disposal of biological waste

The procedure for recycling cars is attracting more and more attention from residents of the Russian Federation. After all, this program not only allows you to get rid of very old vehicles, but also, in the case of special conditions for buying a car, to earn more than from their direct sale. How to dispose of a car in 2020, the procedure in the form of instructions and Required documents to remove the car from the traffic police on the basis of recycling - we will consider all this in our publication.

What is the procedure for disposal?

The regulatory framework governing the disposal of old cars is reflected in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 31, 2009 No. 1194.

Significant changes this document has not undergone its entire existence - the last changes are dated April 26, 2012. That is, as of 2020, the Rules approved by the said Decree are fully in force as amended seven years ago.

What car can be rented?

Any that is obsolete, defective, or repaired and maintained will cost more than the modest reward of selling or scrapping it.

Usually, vehicles over 20 years old, as well as cars damaged in an accident that cannot be restored, are handed over for recycling. It is also possible to hand over dismantled vehicles, but in this case it will not always be possible to get a discount on disposal under the state program.

Where to donate?

You can hand over a recycled car to specialized recycling centers, as well as to a number of scrap metal collection points, but the latter must issue a certificate of disposal of the established form.

Please note that without the documents of the established form confirming the delivery of the car for disposal, you will not be able to remove the car from the register! If you simply sell or scrap the car without receiving official documents, you will face serious difficulties in deregistration of the car.

To deregister a car with the traffic police for recycling, a certificate (certificate) is required confirming the transfer of this car to specialized organization. The obligatory nature and format of such a certificate is regulated by the relevant Order of the Ministry of Industry and Trade No. 10.

Previously, it was possible to first remove the car from the register, and only then hand it over for recycling, however, due to regular cases of continued illegal operation of the car after deregistration, the traffic police tightened the requirements for the disposal of the car.

Innovations on changing the procedure for deregistration of a car due to disposal came into force on July 10, 2017. Amendments were made to the administrative regulations (clause 66 of the regulations), approved by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated 07.08.2013 No. 605.

How to deregister a car due to scrapping?

It is necessary to contact the traffic police at the place of registration of the car after its actual destruction or delivery to a dealership that provides a discount for recycling.

To complete the process of recycling the car and deregister it, you need to contact the traffic police department in person or through a representative. To do this, you will need an application in a free, but recommended form by the State Traffic Inspectorate.

• Download an application in DOC format for deregistration in connection with the disposal of a car (you can fill it out from a computer),
• Download the application in PDF format (you can fill it out by hand),

The traffic police must submit:

1. application in the prescribed form;
2. certificate (certificate) on the disposal of the vehicle;
3. personal passport of the owner of the vehicle;
4. vehicle registration certificate;
5. state registration number plate (both numbers).

If the application is submitted by a representative, then his authority must be confirmed by a notarized power of attorney.

In this case, the numbers can be either handed over for recycling to the traffic police, or transferred to storage for further use on another car for up to six months.

An alternative way is to contact the traffic police through the State Services portal.

Deregistration online through the State Services

With the development of public services, you can save some time and apply electronically through the State Services.

1. We log in to the State Services portal through the ESIA system. You will need a verified account.
2. Enter the desired service in the search field or select it in the section "Transport and driving".
3. We select the necessary service for deregistration of the vehicle due to disposal.
4. Click the "Get Service" button. We fill out an application indicating passport data for ourselves, technical and legal information for the car. The application must be printed out in order to submit it to the traffic police. Also, after filling out all the documents, you need to choose a convenient time to appear at the traffic police and select the traffic police department itself, which is convenient for you (not necessarily at your registration address).

Important note!

Recycling for a discount when buying a new car

Since 2010, the car recycling program has gained increased popularity, according to which old car for scrap, citizens received a solid discount from 50 to 110 thousand rubles for the purchase of a new car of domestic production or assembly.

Officially in this moment the document for this program is not valid, however, a number of car dealers still provide a discount when scrapping an old car through dealerships or specialized centers. However, not every car can be returned under this program in order to receive a discount - the car must meet a number of requirements. You can write off a car just so that it is not registered as a citizen in any condition.

The main conditions for the disposal of an old car to receive a discount:

• the owner of the car is a citizen of the Russian Federation, and the car has been owned for at least a year;
• the age of the machine is at least 10 years, and the total weight cannot exceed 3.5 tons;
• all documents are in order, there is a TCP, there are no discrepancies in unit numbers;
• vehicle meets the requirements technical condition, which are presented upon delivery of the vehicle for disposal.

What are the technical requirements for a car?

To hand over an old vehicle under a recycling program, it is not at all necessary that the car can move independently. There are also no requirements for its good condition, but all the main components and assemblies must be present in the car, including:

• transmission box,
• glazing and body elements,
• dashboard;
• battery and electrical equipment;
• technical fluids.

Such requirements are established mainly by dealers in order to avoid the formal disposal of auto junk, consisting of a body frame and a pair of wheels. But the program itself does not regulate the issues of completing a salvaged car.

Can I return a broken car?

Yes, the Program Rules do not contain any restrictions in this part. However, damage to the car must not contradict the requirements of the receiving organization (or dealer) regarding the completeness of the vehicle.

Roughly speaking, handing over a broken car, of which only half is left, is hardly possible.

This is an important step for ecological state countries and systems for dealing with .

Previously, the state worked according to the old document of 1995. Since then, other processing and disposal technologies have emerged, and new animal diseases have been identified.

Processing equipment is hopelessly outdated, and exploitation of cattle burial grounds, once so popular, is now dangerous and unprofitable. That's why regulations regarding biological waste have become unsuitable for modern times.

The project was under consideration until June 25, 2019. The rules for the disposal of biological waste have undergone some changes, which we will discuss in this article.

According to the new rules, the following waste is considered biological:

• corpses of animals (mammals, fish, birds, insects, aquatic organisms);
• incubator waste, abortive material and stillborn fetuses, placenta;
• biowaste, that is, fragments of organs and tissues obtained as a result of experiments or in veterinary medicine, laboratory samples;
• waste processing of raw materials of animal origin;
• veterinary confiscations;
• feed with the addition of products of animal origin.

Depending on the hazard class, biowaste divided into the following groups:

• especially dangerous, infected with rapidly spreading diseases that can cause a mass epidemic;
• moderately dangerous;
• radioactive.

Why is recycling necessary?

This class of waste poses a great danger to environment and people's health.

Failure to comply with the rules of disposal has a deplorable effect on the environmental situation:

• during the decomposition of corpses, biogas and liquids are formed that are dangerous to all living things;
• unauthorized biowaste dumps attract scavengers that spread rabies and other dangerous diseases;
• the state loses the potential profit that could be obtained from the processing of such waste for food for farm animals and vivarium inhabitants;
• Improper disposal of infected corpses entails consequences in the form of epidemics among humans and animals.

The problem of biological waste disposal has become very acute. This happened not only because the code of laws on the handling of biowaste is outdated, but also because, unfortunately, in our country they do not monitor well enough who and how they dispose of them.

Consequently we have a disappointing result:

• animal corpses are dumped in unauthorized dumps or buried in the ground, which is strictly prohibited;
• enterprises for the processing of biowaste, founded back in the days of the USSR, are out of order or equipped with equipment that is no longer used today;
• high-tech enterprises exist in small numbers and simply cannot cope with the flow of biological waste.

New veterinary and sanitary rules governing the collection of biowaste

Section II of the draft veterinary and sanitary rules "Storage of biological waste" contains the following collection standards.

First, to store and collect sealed containers or special packaging must be used, excluding contact of fragments of tissues and organs with the environment.

Tanks should be labeled with the characteristics of the contents, be easily disinfected, and should not come into contact with veterinarily tested products.

In the absence of such, biowaste must be transferred to special cold rooms designed for this purpose. The temperature in such chambers should vary from 0 degrees Celsius and below. Depending on it, the shelf life is set - 7-30 days.

The new veterinary sanitary rules for the collection and destruction of biological waste allow the storage of corpses in moisture-proof areas until they are removed for disposal, but for a period not exceeding 24 hours.

If the waste is contaminated with dangerous diseases, the period of their storage without the use of refrigerators is determined by the emergency commission. However, they cannot be stored for more than 168 hours.

Unauthorized persons must not come into contact with biological waste. The same applies to other potential carriers. Responsibility for the preservation and handling of biological waste of animal origin prior to its removal to the place of processing or destruction lies with the owner of the enterprise, household or household where this waste was generated.

Changed export standards

Export and transportation biological waste carried out in accordance with the following standards:

1. Proper transportation arrangements are made by the owner. If there is none, it is considered the owner of the territory where the waste was found.
2. Movement without special veterinary documents is prohibited.
3. Transportation is carried out using specially equipped transport, excluding contact with external environment. Otherwise, hazardous elements may dissipate and harm others. It is strictly forbidden to use such transport for other purposes without proper disinfection.
4. The soil where the waste lay is covered with bleach, inventory and overalls are disinfected every time after use. Additional processing and issuance of specific equipment is provided if the waste belongs to groups 1 and 3.

How are they recycled?

Proper and timely processing is the key to obtaining valuable recyclables which can be used for various needs. But this process has its own nuances.

Firstly, biowaste is first sorted and then crushed. Secondly, they require heat treatment.

In this regard, separate rules have been established for each type of waste. It all depends on their mass, origin and purposes for which the resulting recyclables are then used.

Biowaste by all means sterilized in one of the following ways:

• in the extruder;
• by boiling in vacuum boilers;
• compost in special closed containers;
• using conventional cooking in open or closed boilers (this type of processing is available only if the obtained feed is used in the same farm).

If the enterprise is equipped with a special recycling workshop, it has the right to use it only in relation to its by-products.

Acceptance of "foreign" waste is prohibited.

All animal biowaste belonging to group 2 is recyclable. In this way, feed for agricultural institutions, meat and bone and bone meal, fertilizers, etc. are obtained.

Animal skins are also used. They are removed, processed, and then used in the leather industry. The processing of the remains and the removal of skins from carcasses belonging to groups 1 and 3 are not allowed - they are destroyed.

Destruction

Group 3 waste is subject to the same treatment as radiation waste. According to the rules, the entire 1st group of biological waste is subject to mandatory destruction in several ways.

According to the new rules, this can be arranged by:

1. Burning in cremators or incinerators. The resulting ash is subject to further disposal as production waste (7 47 800 00 00 0 according to FKKO).
2. Burning outdoors or in special pits or trenches, but only under the supervision of a veterinarian.
3. Use of cattle burial grounds, but this is an extremely undesirable measure. It becomes available as a result of the decision of the emergency commission, when other methods of destruction are impossible.

Burial in cemeteries is strictly prohibited. An exception is the mass death of animals due to natural disasters, when transportation or burning is impossible. But such a decision is made only by the emergency anti-epizootic commission.

Conclusion

If capacities for biowaste processing appear in Russia, and producers follow all new veterinary regulations its collection and disposal, then the recycling of biological waste will provide significant savings in the agricultural sector.

There will be an additional financial inflow, and the environmental situation in the country will improve. However, this is possible only with strict control over compliance with the letter of the law.

A special bonus of the new project is the long-awaited refusal from the mass construction and operation of cattle burial grounds. This is another significant step towards the development of a modern waste management system.

In contact with

formed as a result of activities legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.

Today we decided to analyze a very important and relevant topic for many entrepreneurs - waste disposal. In our practice, especially in the process legal support business, the question arose more than once of what waste disposal regulations. Similar questions often arise in legal advice to clients, so we, together with FLC experts, have written material for you, which we hope will be useful to you.

The increased burden on the environment has also led to a tougher responsibility of citizens for violations in the field of ecology. This is especially true for legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, in the course of which a huge amount of waste is generated. By law, waste generated as a result of the activities of legal entities, individual entrepreneurs and individuals is subject to collection, storage, use as secondary raw materials, neutralization, transportation and disposal.

Regulatory framework for waste disposal

1. Federal Law of January 10, 2002 No. 7-FZ “On Environmental Protection”, with latest changes dated December 29, 2014 No. 458-FZ;
2. Federal Law of May 4, 2011 No. 99-FZ “On Licensing certain types activities”, with the latest changes dated December 31, 2014 No. 519-FZ;
3. Federal Law No. 89-FZ of June 24, 1998 “On Production and Consumption Wastes”, with the latest amendments of December 29, 2014 No. 485-FZ;
4. Federal Law No. 174-FZ of November 23, 1995 “On Environmental Expertise”, with the latest amendments of February 12, 2015 No. 12-FZ.

What is WASTE and WASTE DISPOSAL

The latest version of the Federal Law "On Production and Consumption Wastes" provides the following definitions of waste and their disposal:
Production and consumption waste- substances or objects that are formed in the process of production, performance of work, provision of services or in the process of consumption, which are removed, are intended for removal or are subject to removal in accordance with this Federal Law.
Recycling- the use of waste for the production of goods (products), performance of work, provision of services, including the reuse of waste, including the reuse of waste for its intended purpose (recycling), their return to the production cycle after appropriate preparation (regeneration), as well as the extraction of useful components for their reuse (recovery).
As we can see, recycling is not the destruction of waste, but their processing or reuse.

Waste-free production can be considered ideal, but in practice this is extremely rare. Basically, waste is accumulated by most entrepreneurs. It can be either an ordinary office wastebasket, or especially dangerous and carcinogenic industrial waste . Let's see what kind of waste requires documentation.

Waste classification

In accordance with Art. 4.2. Federal Law "On Environmental Protection", facilities that provide negative impact on the environment, depending on the level of such impact are divided into four categories:

1. Objects that have a significant negative impact on the environment and related to the areas of application of the best available technologies - objects of category I;
2. Objects that have a moderate negative impact on the environment - objects of category II;
3. Objects that have an insignificant negative impact on the environment - objects of category III;
4. Objects that have a minimal negative impact on the environment are objects of category IV.

Obligations of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs owning waste

Legal entities and individual entrepreneurs that are owners of waste are obliged to:

1. Ensure that waste is handled in accordance with applicable rules and regulations;
2. Organize the collection of waste in specially equipped places in accordance with the requirements of legislation in the field of environmental protection, sanitary rules and regulations, improvement rules approved by local governments, for a period not exceeding that established for this type of waste;
3. Implement environmentally friendly, low-waste and waste-free technologies;
4. Develop and implement measures to reduce the volume of generation and the degree of danger of waste, as well as the disposal of stored waste.

Waste disposal, step by step instructions

• The first thing to do is determine which category the waste belongs to;
• The second point is the transportation of waste. Here, special attention should be paid to the choice of a company that will transport waste. Experts advise checking the following points:

• The company has a license. In accordance with paragraph 30 of Art. 12 of the Federal Law “On licensing certain types of activities” and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On licensing the transportation of passengers and goods by road in international traffic, as well as cargo within Russian Federation» Licensing is subject to the collection, use, neutralization, transportation and disposal of waste of I-IV hazard classes. From July 1, 2015, all types of waste management activities, except for accumulation, must be licensed without fail.
• Check under what conditions the waste will be transported. In accordance with Art. 16 of the Federal Law "On Production and Consumption Waste", transportation of waste of I-IV hazard class should be carried out under the following conditions:
  - availability of a waste passport of I-IV hazard class;
  - Availability of specially equipped and equipped special signs Vehicle;
  — compliance with safety requirements for the transportation of waste of I-IV hazard class on vehicles;
  — availability of documentation for the transportation and transfer of waste of hazard class I-IV, indicating the amount of transported waste of hazard class I-IV, the purpose and destination of their transportation.

• The next thing to check is the contract on the basis of which the contractor will carry out waste disposal.
• Next, you need to sign an act of acceptance and transfer, the so-called waste disposal act, on the basis of which you transfer a certain assortment and amount of waste.
• The last step will be the signing of the certificate of completion. When recycling, the company that assumes the obligation to dispose of waste must provide a certificate of acceptance and / or coupons for waste disposal.

So, from all of the above, it becomes clear that the organization of waste disposal is a painstaking process that requires a serious approach. Assistance in resolving these issues may be really necessary, since violations in waste disposal are subject to administrative and criminal liability, as well as large fines.

Responsibility for violation of waste disposal rules

provided for by both the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as well as other federal laws.

Article 5 of the Law lists the categories of products for which the expiration date is set. These include:

• Food.
• Perfumes and cosmetics.
• Medicines.
• Household chemicals.

Goods from the listed categories, the expiration date of which has expired, are subject to destruction or disposal (in article 3 of the Federal Law of 02.01.2000 No. 29-ФЗ “On the Quality and Safety of Food Products”).

Recycling and destruction are fundamentally different concepts:

1. Recycling implies that the expired product can be used in the future, but no longer for its intended purpose. (Article 1 No. 29-FZ "On the quality and safety of food products"). For example, it can be given to animal feed, processed into jam, vinegar, etc.

   To make sure that the product is subject to processing for its subsequent use will only be carried out by the state examination in Rospotrebnadzor.

2. It is necessary to speak about the destruction of goods in the case when the examination has recognized the impossibility of its disposal.

   If the expired product is unsuitable for further use in any form, it must be destroyed (clause 11 of the Regulations on the examination of low-quality and dangerous food raw materials and food products, their use or destruction, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 29, 1997 No. 1263. Further - Position).

How do you determine what to do with expired items?

To determine further fate expired goods, you must contact Rospotrebnadzor for an examination.

The specific procedure will depend on the type of product.

1. For medicinal products, perfumes, tobacco products, expertise is required in all cases. This is regulated by a number of legal acts: paragraph 2 of Art. 31 of the Federal Law of 06/22/98 No. 86-FZ "On Medicines" and clause 18 of the Regulation.
2. In the case of food products, they can be destroyed or disposed of without expertise. This is allowed by clause 4 of the Regulations under the following conditions:
   • The owner cannot confirm the origin of the products.
   • Goods have clear signs poor quality and thus pose a threat to human life.
3. In all other cases, expired goods are subject to examination. To do this, you must contact the territorial division of Rospotrebnadzor in order to determine the possibility of recycling or destroying illiquid products.

As a result of the procedure, Rospotrebnadzor issues a decision either on the disposal or destruction of expired goods.

Methods and conditions for further processing of products are chosen by their owner independently and must comply with the requirements of regulatory or technical documents. Nevertheless, the chosen method must be agreed with the officials of Rospotrebnadzor. All examination services are paid by the owner of the goods.

If the products are planned to be disposed of for animal feed, the procedure must be agreed with the Commissioner of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision (Rosselkhoznadzor).

How to dispose of goods that have expired?

Working with expired goods begins with determining options for its further use. For this:

1. The owner applies to Rospotrebnadzor for an examination of products. You can get acquainted with the list of goods that are recognized as unsuitable for use after the expiration date in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 16, 1997 No. 720. The evaluation procedure itself is regulated by the following regulations:
   • paragraph 2 of Art. 3, Art. 25 of the Federal Law of 02.01.2000 N 29-FZ;
   • pp. 2, 3 of the Regulations.
2. Based on the results of the inspection, the authorized body makes a conclusion that the goods can be disposed of.
3. The specific authorization depends on the further intended use of expired products. For example, for the processing of raw materials for animal feed, an appropriate conclusion is issued with the signature of a representative of veterinary supervision.
4. Until the moment of disposal, all expired products must be stored in strictly designated areas. Storage containers must fully comply with sanitary requirements: be airtight.
5. Disposal is carried out by a specialized company. This company must have a license from Rospotrebnadzor to carry out activities for the disposal of a specific type of waste (Article 9 of the Federal Law “On Production and Consumption Wastes” dated 06/24/1998 N 89-FZ). In accordance with the law, the removal of products for disposal must be carried out in a timely manner.
6. The company exports expired products from the enterprise to the processing site.
7. Based on the results of the examination, the products are processed either for animal feed or for secondary raw materials.
8. The owner of the product is obliged to notify the authority that issued the disposal permit that the product has been transferred to the appropriate company for further use. This must be done within 3 days after the transfer of products to the disposal company. Notification is carried out by providing the original document confirming the transfer, or its notarized copy. (clause 16 of the Regulations).

Despite the fact that the law allows the self-destruction of expired goods, it is considered most appropriate to contact a specialized company.

In this case, the owner will not have to worry about the rules for the destruction of certain types of products, their proper storage.

A cooperation agreement is concluded with the recycling company. The company itself picks up the goods and takes them to the place of destruction. The disposal company must be accredited.

In the course of the destruction of expired products, reporting documents are also compiled. These include:

• primary documentation.
• Act on the disposal of products.

The exact requirements for the content of documents depend on the type of product. Thus, the destruction of food and perfumery and cosmetic products is formalized by an act on the form No. TORG-16. It is drawn up in several copies (according to the number of members of the commission) and signed by all its members. The composition is approved by the director of the organization. May include company employees, representatives of the recycling company and Rospotrebnadzor (if necessary).

Ways to get rid of products

• Landfill burial. The most environmentally friendly method. Products are transported to a special place and stored there.
• Burning. Goods are placed in special ovens - crematoriums and burned there. The resulting ash can later be used as fertilizer.

Thus, if the goods have an expiration date, the seller must carefully monitor the period of delay. Expired products cannot be sold and must be disposed of or destroyed. These are 2 fundamentally different procedures, the implementation of which allows the owner to legally get rid of illiquid products.

Impossible to imagine modern office or an enterprise without computers, printers, copiers, fax machines and other office equipment. It faithfully serves entrepreneurs, but there comes a time when the equipment either becomes morally obsolete or irreparably breaks down. To replace the old one will be purchased new technology, but obsolete devices that have turned into garbage cannot simply be taken out to the nearest garbage dump.

Why computer equipment needs special disposal and how to properly carry out this procedure from the point of view of the legislation of the Russian Federation, read in this article.

Why Unused Office Equipment Isn't Just Rubbish

Everything that cannot be sold (donated) or reused is unnecessary things, in other words, garbage. The accumulation of such items is unacceptable in an enterprise where everything should work for profit. If the computer is no longer efficient or irreparably damaged, you can’t work on it, which means you will need to purchase another one in its place.

Naturally, unusable things must be disposed of. Assets such as office equipment are written off and disposed of according to a special procedure prescribed by law. Reasons for regulating the disposal of office equipment:

1. Prevention of harm to the environment. Used office equipment is classified as hazardous waste. In the production of computers and other units, substances that are hazardous to life are used, for example, lead, arsenic, etc. The usual disposal of equipment, especially regular, can cause irreparable harm to the environment and health.
2. Saving what can be saved. The composition of office equipment includes parts containing non-ferrous metal, as well as a certain amount of precious metals: gold, silver, platinum. Thus, the Tax Code of the Russian Federation considers even absolutely unusable equipment not without a certain value. The metal can be recovered and reused, and the valuable constituents must be properly accounted for as part of the assets.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION! A sufficient basis for the regulated disposal of computer equipment is its legislative justification. In other words, an organization or person caught in the usual release of such equipment will be held administratively liable for environmental pollution and violation of epidemiological standards.

What the law says

Disposal of obsolete office equipment is regulated by several legal acts:

1. Administrative Code in Art. 8.2 prohibits throwing away equipment along with ordinary garbage, and the ban applies to both individuals and organizations.
2. A separate ban on this action for legal entities is spelled out in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 340.
3. Enterprises are prohibited from doing this on their own by Federal Law No. 89.
4. P.2 Art. 20 of Federal Law No. 41 of March 26, 1998, stipulates improper disposal of equipment as a violation of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation due to the content of valuable metals in it, which must be processed and sent to the state fund.
5. Specialized enterprises are allowed to dispose of equipment if they have an appropriate license, in accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 524 of August 26, 2006.

What exactly needs to be disposed of

The list of equipment subject to mandatory disposal due to potential danger is contained in the order of the Ministry natural resources, as well as in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 818. It includes:

• computers;
• monitors;
• fluorescent lamps;
• Medical equipment;
• Appliances;
• accumulators;
• scanners;
• copiers;
• printers and cartridges for them, etc.

IMPORTANT! It is necessary to properly dispose of not only the units themselves, but also their scrap, that is, even individual parts of the failed equipment.

Write-off of office equipment before disposal

If an ordinary consumer can simply contact a company engaged in the disposal of equipment, the legal entity must have legislative grounds for this: write off this property from the balance sheet. It's not as easy as it seems.

The main difficulty of this procedure is in determining the residual value of used equipment. In order for the write-off act to be legal, it is necessary to correctly assess the technical and moral aspect of the devices and their material value which only experts can do. Only a specially certified organization is entitled to conduct this examination, having issued a conclusion on the unsuitability of the equipment for further use.

Violation of the write-off procedure fraught with administrative and even criminal liability, because technology is a material value. It will certainly provoke mismanagement accounting, which is fraught with sanctions for the management and chief accountant of the organization:

• a fine of 20-50 minimum wages for executives;
• a fine of 100-1000 minimum wages imposed on the organization.

ATTENTION! The decision to keep old equipment at the enterprise in order to avoid write-off and disposal costs will not save money in any way, since the equipment that remains an asset will have to pay tax.

Accounting entries for the write-off of office equipment

If a decision is made to dispose of certain equipment, this a priori means that, as an asset, it is depreciated to the end and no longer takes part in production activities. Its accounting is kept on account 01 “Fixed assets” and off-balance account 013 “Amortization fund for the reproduction of intangible assets”.

In the postings, the write-off is recorded as the disposal of fixed assets. The costs of subsequent disposal should be written off in the same accounting period, even though the disposal itself may take place later.

Stages of disposal of office equipment

The first stage is carried out by the organization with the involvement of certified experts. The subsequent stages are entitled to be carried out by one of the specialized firms registered with the Assay Chamber of the Russian Federation.

1. Receipt of the act of write-off:
   • expert review;
   • determination of the residual value of decommissioned equipment;
   • conclusion about the impossibility of its further use;
   • registration of OS disposal.
2. Dismantling of equipment with separation of parts containing precious metals:
   • an act on the seizure of components is required, on the basis of which the equipment is written off from the accounting cards;
   • on its basis, each part has its own accounting card (), which indicates the name of the scrap (the name of the node), its total mass and the share of precious metals in it of each name.
3. Refining is the separation of precious metals from technical parts.
4. Posting of received values.
5. Transfer of precious metals to the state fund.

NOTE! When contacting a specialized company for recycling, it will be enough for the organization to carry out the sale of old equipment: this will eliminate the need for accounting and posting of scrap and precious metals.

How to recycle with the help of special companies

Organizations specializing in the disposal of office and household appliances have all necessary permissions and licenses, as well as equipment for refining precious metals. Many of them are also authorized to conduct technical expertise prior to decommissioning of such equipment. The experts will:

• assistance in the preparation of write-off acts for each of the disposable devices;
• transportation, neutralization and disposal of the hazardous part of the waste;
• registration of sanitary and epidemiological documents;
• all subsequent procedures related to precious metals.
