An operator was selected in each of the region's seven clusters, which are divided by territorial principle: Aleksinsky, Voskresensky, Kashirsky, Noginsky, Ruzsky, Sergiev Posadsky, Chekhovsky. "Khartia" in the Moscow Region will collect garbage in the north-eastern direction (Noginsky cluster); the contract amount is 34.9 billion rubles. The largest was the structure with the participation of Rostec - "RT-Invest", which received contracts worth 109.1 billion rubles.

The presence of landfills, equipment, and own sorting increases the profitability of the business, said Igor Chaika. In 2017, his company acquired a landfill in the Vladimir region, a sorting complex on Altufevskoe Highway, and Moscow also leased one of the waste incineration plants, MSZ-4, to his company.
