How Moscow Does Snow Removal


This is how Moscow does snow removal. Shovel all the snow, pile it up in a dumpster, and then dump it somewhere else! They only do this for walkways and roads, parking lots still have traditional mountains of snow that children turn into slides! I'll take some pictures of how high some of the snowpiles are and post them within the next couple of days. 
Now the real question is, where do they take all of that snow?

Over here in the USA, I think that the same thing is done when there is a heavy snow storm. The snow is removed from the streets, dumped into a dump truck, and hauled away to the river.

Moscow melts the snow and cleans it to dump back into the river. Moscow has a snow melting plant for this very purpose. Russia Today has a very good video on the subject...
