History
The Timokhovo solid waste landfill is located in the Bogorodsky urban district of the Moscow region, 1 km south of the village of Timokhovo. It was founded in the late 1980s on the site of abandoned clay quarries and served 22 (out of 32) districts of Moscow.
The maximum capacity of the landfill is 450,000 tons per year. According to some sources, it accepts up to 1,500,000 tons per year. One of the main waste suppliers is the regional operator "Khartia" (owned by Igor Chaika).

The landfill is headed by Konstantin Sergeevich Manegin Timokhovo since 1996.

Why this record matters
“Timokhovo Landfill” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Timokhovo, Landfill and solid provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q117192804. The first chronological checks are 1996.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
