Everyone is digging. A Day in the Life of an Amber Prospector
What Really Is the Illegal Amber Mining in Ukraine
Related video
Editorial. This report is written in the third person, like a documentary story. This form of narration allows the author to "hide" behind one of the characters and avoid unnecessary questions from both law enforcement agencies and protectors of illegal business.
**********
On the main square of Dubrovitsa, a food shop is open around the clock, popularly known as the "night light". As soon as the autumn dawn dawns, prospectors gather at the nightlight - seekers of amber. They do not call themselves prospectors (diggers). They prefer verbal constructions - "I dig", "to the forest I go", "I joke about the goods". The word "goods" in their environment is an absolute synonym for the concept of "amber". And they say "stone, pebbles."
You can always recognize a miner by his rubber boots. Every second is in camouflage. They drive up to the nightclub in old Zhiguli and well-used foreign cars. Here they have something like a morning meeting. They drink coffee, buy additional sausage and vodka, if someone has not stocked up since the evening. And most importantly, they will find out what prices the buyers have set. Prices are the alpha and omega of the entire information space. Actually, the prospector does not need to know anything else.
Issue price
Today, a kilogram of large stone costs up to $10,000. Piece specimens are especially valued - from 200 grams. On them, the cost is formed not per kilogram, but per unit. A kilogram of ordinary amber costs $200–250. The price of pebbles jumps up and down, like stocks on the stock exchange. But in general, there is a bullish trend in this market: over the past few years, amber prices have increased ten (!) times.
If you go to the Klondike every other day, then you can earn $50 thousand in a year. And the owner of the pump, if he hits a vein, can raise this amount in a day. In parallel with mining, a system of trade and buying is developing. Amber balls (especially valued in China as cult objects) are produced on site. The nearest decent hotel in Sarny resembles Chinatown in terms of the number of people of Asian appearance and in fact is a black amber exchange.
What's the price
Buyers' prices for amber fluctuate. On the day of the events described, they were as follows
- "minus" (the smallest fraction, weighing up to 2 g) - $ 30 per 1 kg
- "two" (2-4 g) - $ 380 per 1 kg
- "five" (5-10 g) - $ 1200 per 1 kg
- "ten" (10-20 g) - $ 2200 per 1 kg
- "twenty" (20-50 g) - $ 4200 per 1 kg
- "fifty" (50-100 g) - $ 5200 per 1 kg
- stones weighing over 200 g were assessed as piece goods, without reference to weight
Once upon a time there were many abandoned huts in Dubrovitsa, now they are almost gone. Houses are bought by settlers from distant villages, who have grown rich on amber. Housing prices here are equal to the prices for apartments in Rivne, and sometimes even exceed them. Despite the crisis, new houses are being built, more and more expensive cars are on the streets. 90% of buyers of SUVs in car dealerships in Rivne are miners.
But recently it was an ordinary, unremarkable Ukrainian hinterland. Although a small amber industry existed here even during the Soviet era. Knowledgeable people - mostly visiting Balts - bought or bartered pebbles from the locals. It didn't bring in a lot of money. The old people remember how they heated stoves in the villages with amber, tarred the wooden roofs of houses with it.
After the collapse of the USSR, an enthusiast was found in Rivne - the former head of the regional level Vladimir Berbenets, who dreamed of creating an amber industry in Ukraine. He substantiated its prospects, enlisted the support of the Ministry of Finance and even created the state enterprise Ukrburshtyn.
Production facilities were built, equipment and technologies were purchased - mainly in Germany and Poland. The plans included a comprehensive development of the industry: stone mining, processing, production of jewelry and other goods - succinic, adipic and glutaric acids. The latter were planned to be produced using waste from the Rivneazot enterprise.
Ukrburshtyn was officially allocated a forest plot for mining. A complete technological chain was assumed: felling and sale of wood, removal of amber-bearing soils, extraction of stone, land reclamation and planting of a new forest. In 1998 the factory was built. The then Prime Minister Valery Pustovoitenko came to its grand opening.
But someone has laid eyes on a promising business. Who? This is a separate topic that requires careful investigation.
Almost immediately, Ukrburshtyn was introduced into the structure of the State Joint-Stock Company "Ukrainian Polymetals". Then a series of legal transformations took place: the withdrawal of assets, the bankruptcy procedure, external management . .. For twelve years, the enterprise was in the process of reorganization, coordinated by an arbitration manager.
However, again, this is a separate issue.

≈ $300 million
is the illegal annual turnover of amber in Ukraine
The amber industry began to be systematically created, but was never created under Kuchma. Under Yushchenko, everything turned out to be quite bad. The local elites (including criminal ones) have changed, and the undercover struggle in the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has intensified. With the coming to power of Yanukovych, a new "order" was established. The newly appointed officials and "individual representatives of business circles" made it clear to the local amber barons: if you don't want war, give us 50% of the amber, sell the remaining 50% in your favor, but sell it to those whom we indicate.
Around the same time, the Chinese arrived at the hotel in Sarny. In China itself, by that time, an amber boom had begun - the "dragon stone" had incredibly risen in price.
Today, the situation in the local forests can be described in a few words: everyone digs for himself. A familiar official in Dubrovitsa complained: "We used to know where each pump was, who its owner was, and we could control them all, but now it's chaos."
"Could control" - a Freudian slip. Because here everyone feeds on amber in one way or another. The same officials fight illegal mining and live from it. And so the majority in this region. A school teacher digs in his spare time, a doctor, a librarian, a taxi driver, a student, a pensioner dig… Church communities dig, villages dig.
In the north of Rivne region, in remote villages, there are many Protestant Christians - Baptists and Pentecostals. Law enforcement officers are afraid to look into these corners. When a police car stops, small children immediately sit under its wheels, so they don’t turn around and run away. The whole village is gathering. With pitchforks. And who and with a carbine. Scream. Hitting. A policeman, even an ordinary sergeant, is perceived as a representative of the authorities. And against his word there is always one argument: "You gave me a robot? Incited the plant? Ni? Don't disrespect it - this is my land!"
It comes to the point that wars break out between the villages - checkpoints are set up, people are on duty with weapons in order not to let the residents of the neighboring village into their territory, as they understand it.
Recently adopted additions to the legislation have transferred the illegal circulation of amber from the category of administrative violations to criminal ones. But this did not overcome the fishery, but only raised the stakes. If earlier criminal racketeering cost $100 per day of operation of a motor pump in the forest, now the rates are $700 and more. And this is only for the right to erode the soil during the day! In total, the operation of the pump - with fuel, preparatory stages and staff salaries - costs an average of $ 1,500 per day. And it is not a fact that all this is beaten off by the found amber. For in many respects fishing depends on luck.
Related businesses develop around illegal fishing:

Morning. On the square in Dubrovitsa, opposite the night lamp, there is an old Niva. Having bought a couple of bottles of mineral water, four guys are rammed into the car - Denis, Zhenya, Kolya and Sanya. Like everyone else, they go towards the village of Chervonoe. There is a Klondike. There is amber. There are joys and disappointments.
Vitaly is driving. He takes the lads to the forest by agreement, for a hundred hryvnias a day there and back. The rest of the time he works according to the work book in the state structure.
Miners don't have the concept of a "team". But if it were, it would mean a group of four people working together. Four is the optimal number: firstly, they fit in one machine, and secondly, they work in pairs - while two are intensively digging, the rest are taking a breath. They work hard for the overall result. A strong and well-coordinated four is capable of shoveling up to 20 cubic meters of soil in a daylight hours.
Today Vitaly decides not to enter the forest through the main barrier - he turns off a little earlier. Because near the barrier they charge for the "roof" - 50 UAH from the miner's nose. And there are thousands of people! The guys decide to slip through "hares". Such a channel. For in our country, not only the severity of laws is compensated by the optionality of execution, but also the severity of thieves' concepts - too. The main thing is not to part, to know the measure and not to annoy the eyes of the "roof".
Putting their shovels on their shoulders, the prospectors go deeper into the forest.
The first holes appear. Further, their density thickens. And now a hole in the hole. There are trees between the holes. standing. Half-fallen. Fallen down. Sawn. Chopped. Burnt. Klondike is minced wood, sand, clay, the remains of fertile humus and empty bottles.
"Roof" miners pay through their teeth. Because it is humiliating, although such words are not spoken here. "Krysha" says: we collect, they say, for the needs of the ATO. How to check? Or: we collect for the improvement of the park in Dubrovitsa. Yes, a dozen benches have been set up in the park. But the sixes - the heads of the barrier - moved to jeeps over the summer, although earlier not every one of them could earn money on the Tavria. The men are snarling: "What do you choose for the ATO and three of your own, what you take and three for the ATO?" But they pay. If you trample harshly against the existing system, they won't find you. Any questions? No questions!
Miners don't have the concept of a "team". But if it were, it would mean a group of 4 people working together
Having bypassed the "roof", our guys go to a crowded place. Dozens of cars along the road, including minibuses. And pits, pits, pits... And people, people, people. There are also two field shops: they unload packages of mineral water, packs of mivina, broths, vodka, mayonnaise, sausage, and cookies from minivans. A large cauldron boils on the fire - it will be hotter.
One of the guys pushes a friend in the side:
- Yushka ribna. 20 hryvnia - a great beer glass. We posorbali with the lads of the school - that's what we need! First burner, I'll tell you, go faster. Like a garna yushka, then the burners can be drunk as much as you like!
At the store, the guys greet the seller. Stepping back a few steps, Denis stops, almost whispering, squinting in the direction of the seller:
— Boys, you need to marvel at sim patlatim all the time. How to slap someone, who starts to pick up wine, - say. We all throw our feet to the fox.
Zhenya and Nikolay smile: don't teach a scientist. Of course, here everyone knows the rules. But still Denis considers it not superfluous to recall the well-known. And it is known that the cops directly "roof" the haired one. If a raid is planned, they warn him to turn off the bench. He hurriedly throws the goods into the car and through the gases. This moment should not be missed - have time to escape from the Klondike. The cops will catch - they will take away the goods. Any questions? No questions!
Pit
Guys choose a place between several pits. Today Zhenya's turn to "shamanize". He turns his back to the site and with the words: "We will not wish good luck!" throws his cap back over his head. She falls next to Kolya, who immediately traces a square of approximately 2.5 x 2.5 meters with a shovel, so that the old faded BOSS baseball cap is exactly in the center. The first spade bayonets pierce the ground.
The technology of digging is simple: two people stand side by side and, within the limits of the outlined square, remove a layer of earth with shovels - one bayonet at a time. Then they change. That is, two are stably heated in the pit, the other two are freezing at the top. Or warm themselves by the fire, or vodka. There is no common lunch, they also have a snack in twos.
Behind the black fertile humus, sand begins. Its about one and a half meters. At first loose, then hard, like concrete, so you have to "dance" on the shovel with both feet.
“Rule number one: don’t stay near the pit,” Denis reminds him jokingly and more to keep the conversation going. - For if the pit is up to the knee, the wind is visible. And if it’s better, then you should still stand, you can learn. And we do not need a drop in labor force. Am I telling the truth?
The phrase "the loss of the labor force" obviously amused everyone, but not for long. Starting from this phrase, the guys move on to real stories about accidents. There is a high level of injuries among miners. Fatal crashes often occur. Because of the dampness in the mines, diseases are practically guaranteed - rheumatism of the joints, early prostatitis in men.
“They said the lad fell off yesterday or the day before,” Zhenya joins in.
- One hundred stars. Wrapped his head. While digging - a corpse.
They dig in silence for a while. Suddenly Denis remembers that in the morning he has not drunk vodka yet, and this is completely unacceptable!
A bottle emerges from a backpack, disposable shots crackle, Coca-Cola bought for drinking sizzles. Nikolai and Zhenya refuse to drink, joking that "after work, go to the gym." Sanya declares that "a little later." Denis pours himself a drink, complains that "everything rests only on him":
“Well, good luck,” he says, and sends the contents of the cup inside.
Vodka is evil and good in one glass. Gives energy, helps not to freeze. If you take fifty dollars every few hours and work, then it is imperceptible in the fresh air. But it is not always possible and not for everyone to keep in such a rhythm...
Somewhere in the distance an engine started working - a generator was started, which means that fresh coffee will be brewed - espresso, americano, cappuccino.
“Everything is like in the best houses,” Kolya says. - Europe!
Meanwhile, the pit is getting deeper. Sand is replaced by gray clay. It sticks to the shovel and does not shake off. Resting shift goes for the logs. Behind the logs - this is not far, to the neighboring pits, already worked out and abandoned. The trunks of hornbeam trees lie along the perimeter. They are laid in such a way that, throwing out another shovel, you can knock it against a tree, then the clay bounces off more easily. Then, when you work out your hole and go further, these logs will be taken by other prospectors for the same purposes. So the pits "walk" through the forest "in an embrace" with logs.
"Sports pit" is a local term. Empty, in which no amber was found. I dug out that I went to the gym
But even tapping does not give a 100% result. A couple of throws, and the shovel becomes like a clay mace - don't knock. Then those who are at the top bring clean shovels into the pit, take dirty ones, clean them and bring them down again. From the outside, it resembles a movie about pirates, where some people load muskets and serve those who shoot, load and serve . .. And quickly, quickly, without losing pace!
Suddenly a shot is heard in the forest. Actually, only Sanya heard him:
— Shoot?
The boys freeze for a moment.
- If not the same - not worth a penny. For if you bought it to bring pennies, the stink of burning, so that the mustaches carried the goods to them. Let the cannonade stand by the fox! Yes, Kolyan?
Shots are no longer heard, but the conversation continues to revolve around weapons.
— Tsikavo, why do you stink? Z injury, maybe?
- My father-in-law has such a є. Well, maybe it’s not that kind of troch - pneumatic, on a spray can. Having bought from the store, - Denis recalls from the pit.
— What about youmu?
- That bulo was like ... I made a little trouble at the hut, having made a fuss with a woman. The next day I show up to the new one: "Well, show me the pistol." And vin: "Take your dog away, because I'm afraid of him. Just don't beat your daughter."
- I sho, not a woman?
- That I never touched a finger! Let's start with the soil of the one you need, but I feel in my heart that I'll be sporty again. 0003
Motor pumps confiscated by security forces in 2015 from illegal miners. A lucky pump owner can earn up to $50,000 a day by discovering a vein
"Sports pit" is another local concept. That is, empty, in which no amber was found. I dug up - that I went to the gym.
— There are ten wells here for sure sports, — Zhenya remarks and immediately gets from everyone: "Don't croak, damn it!".
At the bottom of the pit it becomes completely crowded together. Now three are upstairs, one Kolya is digging. When throwing soil, his shovel barely reaches the log, so that in the final stage of the throw he holds it by the edge of the handle with only one hand.
The conversations stop. The guys are nervous. Three meters deep. It's time to see the amber-bearing layer.
An inexperienced person will not catch where is the line beyond which ordinary soil passes into the one that prospectors are already ready to let through their fingers. But he who has lived in the pits for years reads soils like a book. In this case, all four seem to have already understood that the veins cannot be seen today.
"Looks like" is a very important word here. Pit on the pit is not necessary. It used to happen that they stumbled upon a placer of amber, took it in handfuls. Then, next to where the vein seemed to stretch, they dug the next hole and ... zero. That is a complete zero! They quit work, cleaned their shovels. In the meantime, groundwater was flowing into the pit. And someone, well, quite casually, suddenly glided along the bottom of the pit with a last cursory glance ... Oh-oh-oh! An amber stone floated on the water! It has surfaced, dear, it has surfaced! And where did the squeamish unwillingness to get water in your boots go!? To the pit! Back!
Another miner's law: stone loves faith. Believe!
- If you know a normal fireplace - it’s not a good thing to shoot for joy, so that everyone bacili you. I don’t give a fuck about liquor, - says the experienced Denis.
The main enemy of a prospector is a long tongue. How many cases have happened when the goods were taken away. Who? Some stray, not local. But the question is not who selected, but who brought. Where big money is flowing, one must be able to remain silent.
Every miner always remembers his iconic finds. And exactly, down to the gram, he knows which stone was mined under what circumstances.
Zhenya and Kolyan grew up on amber. At first, like many teenagers, they crossed the dumps after the diggers. At night they went with ultraviolet flashlights. Amber in the ultraviolet gives a bright glow. Even "minuses" glow, the size of a buckwheat seed. For several hours of searching in the dark under ultraviolet, Zhenya managed to fill his pockets full of minus.
In general, Zhenya is not spoiled for money. Parents are divorced. The mother of two children pulled out. He graduated from a technical school, his sister continues to study at the institute. My father, however, helped as much as he could. But recently he was mobilized in the ATO. So Zhenya is forced to "hold on to the hole."
Nikolay's situation is not the best. My father worked all his life in land reclamation on a bulldozer. Now he has bad legs. No health, no normal pension. As far as possible, leaves for the forest. They sometimes dig with Kolya in a pair.
Sanya trampled half of Europe on construction sites. Seen a lot. And to grow old returned to his native land.
The main enemy of a prospector is a long tongue. Where big money is flowing, one must be able to remain silent
However, it is not customary to talk about problems here. Whining won't cheer you up. Yes, and you will not be original - everyone has enough tears.
The pit continued to grow behind the conversations. Kolya was replaced by Denis. And it’s good that it was him, because the water was just beginning to rise, and only Denis has high wading boots.
Small fountains gushed out from under the clay, the puddle was getting deeper before our eyes. Denis decides to "beat the well" - to dig a hole in the hole, so that in the remaining minutes, until the incoming water completely paralyzes the work, he can at least go deep locally. The well is no wider than an ordinary bucket. Denis barely manages to take out a dozen shovels of soil. Quickly rolls back to the very top of the wading, it is accepted that there is agility to stomp in the well:
- It's off, lads, I won't wish you luck!
— Well, come on, my pebble, get up, dear, get up! Denis pleads. - Well, I want twenty. Well, maybe thirty.
“Better pіsyatku,” Kolyan echoes in a shamanic voice.
- Sotochku - Zhek raises the bet.
- Come on, wind! shouts Denis.
Sanya jumps down to an intermediate step, intercepts a bucket of water from Denis and passes it on to Kolyan, he pours it out, Zheka looks with all his eyes, tries the sand with his fingers, tries not to miss if a pebble pops up. Finally, it becomes clear that it is useless to draw further. Water is faster than man.
Due to inertia, Denis continues to dance in the mud for some time. The water comes critically high, a couple more centimeters, and it will rush into his wadings. He stops, asks for a rope, and before the guys pull him out, he manages to grab something on the water with a pinch of his fingers.
Got out. I caught my breath. I took a closer look at the find:
- Minus, lads, minus the badge-fly! — he holds in a pinch a small brown something the size of half a pea. His face expresses an emotion of an incomprehensible shade: not joy, not despair, not madness, not fear, not anger ... But this is precisely an emotion!
Here it is, the happiness of a worker. A small minus for a day of work for four! Minus - he has no price ...
Shovels on the shoulders, the guys are leaving. Twilight is approaching.
Back in the summer, the authorities in Dubrovitsa tried to cover up the illegal mining of amber with the help of the National Guard, but the forces turned out to be unequal: almost the entire local population was on the side of the prospectors
I don’t believe it
Civil and environmental activists advocate the legalization of the trade. They believe that justice is possible. That miners can be pulled out of the pits, shaken off, given patents for legal mining and forced to do everything according to the laws and science. So that they carry out reclamation - return the soil back to the pits, plant a new forest. And they paid taxes. Activists believe it, I doubt it.
In fact, the local population will not agree with the legalization of the industry. Today, a prospector, if he is lucky, can become a millionaire. An ordinary hard worker with a shovel! But will he still have such an opportunity if he works legally? By hook or by crook, but in the legal sector, his earnings will be reduced to the national average. The closure of the shadow market will certainly mark the beginning of the tightening of the screws (decrease in income) in the "white" sector. And as soon as this happens, the shadow market will begin to form again.

Despite the fact that ordinary miners earn crazy (by the standards of hard workers) money, it is still crumbs compared to what shadow beneficiaries have, given that the annual turnover of amber in Ukraine is estimated at approximately in $300 million. Therefore, chasing men with shovels through the forests is a dead number. This is not a fight, but an imitation. You need to pinch the top. By what means - here I will not say anything. I will keep silent, because I do not believe in the effectiveness of any method other than force.
Drainage pit from truck wheels. The feasibility of using tires in the construction of a country toilet. Construction and working principle
How to dig a pit is up to you. If you don't want to spend a few days with a shovel, hire an excavator. The shape of the pit is also not fundamental, the main thing is that the dimensions are observed and the walls are even, and the bottom, on the contrary, has a bevel relative to the horizontal. Pipe trenches are dug taking into account the slope (2-4 cm / 1 m) and subsequent thermal insulation.
After the excavation is ready, a hole should be drilled in the soil with a drill, passing through all the existing aquifers in the soil. We insert a pipe with drilled holes (drainage pipe) into the well, leaving the end of the pipe one meter above the bottom of the pit. We tighten the drainage pipe with a fine mesh.
At the bottom of the pit, it is necessary to fill up from 20 to 30 cm of coarse gravel - a drainage cushion.
Tires should be lowered into the pit one at a time, simultaneously cutting off the inner metal cord, connecting adjacent tires with bolts and gluing the joints with sealant. The last (top) tire should be about 30-50 cm above the soil surface. This will prevent the penetration of melt water into the cesspool.
To connect the pipeline to the cesspool, it is necessary to cut a hole Ø100 mm in the wall of the tire with a jigsaw and a hacksaw, insert a pipe into it, treat the joint with silicone sealant.
Connecting a sewer pipe to a cesspool
It remains to wrap the outer side of the tires with roofing material and backfill with crushed stone and soil.
Don't forget to equip your pit pit with a slab with a lid and a vent pipe so that bad odors don't spread from your pit to the entire area. If the cesspool was built from the considerations of equipping only an outdoor toilet, then there is no need for a lid and a supply drain pipe from the living quarters.
Using a similar technology, it is possible to build a drainage well from tires for post-treatment and disposal of clarified water from a septic tank.
If you are planning to make a cesspool with overflow, then use the same technology to dig a pit for two stacks of tires, pour concrete under the first stack and lay rubble under the second. Connect both stacks with a pipe located in the center of the structure. Backfill and install floor and ventilation.

Tire cesspool maintenance
Large gravel silts up very slowly, so the pit will not need to be pumped out soon. And in order to significantly delay this procedure, you can use special "chemistry" for cesspools, which can quickly dissolve drains and feces, turning them into water.

Cleaning pit latrines by hand is not the most pleasant task
Cesspool of old car tires
No one doubts that modern country living should be comfortable. Therefore, all owners of suburban real estate are trying to organize at least minimal conditions on their site that bring them closer to comfort. So, the sewerage system must be included in the list of necessary engineering networks. But the sewerage system is different, and a lot depends on the money you are willing to invest in it. Anyone who has a tense situation with money decides to make ordinary cesspools. And although the process of building such an engineering facility is not an easy task, there is an optimal option. This is a cesspool of tires.
The construction of this structure does not require any complex building materials, as well as a lot of experience and skills. But there are some things you just need to know. In addition, even in such a simple process, there will always be nuances that can affect the final result.
Location of cesspool
It may seem to some that the choice of location does not play an important role. And this is a big mistake. After all, in housing construction there are certain norms and rules based on sanitary and hygienic requirements.
- The distance from the cesspool to residential buildings should not be less than 5 meters. The same distance to the fence should not be less than 2 meters.
- The distance from the pit without a bottom to the nearest water source must be at least 30 meters.
- Under no circumstances should a cesspool without a bottom be constructed if the daily volume of drained waste is more than one cubic meter. This is due to the fact that the bacteria that are in the soil will not be able to process such a large amount of waste on their own. Soil and groundwater pollution will begin.
- Chemical preparations must not be discharged into the cesspool sewer. They just kill bacteria.
Now, as for the connection of the cesspool and the internal sewerage of a country house. The optimal pipe diameter is 100 millimeters. Choose PVC pipes. Please note that an ideally laid sewer pipeline should be straight without bends and deviations. An important factor in this case is the trees and shrubs that can be found along the path of laying the network. Try to avoid them.
And the last thing about pipe sewerage. The depth of the pipeline should be below the groundwater level. If this is not possible, the pipeline will have to be thermally insulated. That is, you will need a heat-insulating material and some time for its installation.
Pit volume calculation
For this you will have to take constant values as a basis:
- 200 liters of water that one person spends per day. The value is obtained empirically and is a constant.
- Further, 3 days - during this time there is a natural processing of organic waste by bacteria.
- And add here the number of people who permanently live in the house.
By multiplying all three numbers, you can determine the required volume of the cesspool.
Making a pit out of tires
First you need to select the type of car tires. These can be tires from a passenger car, truck or tractor. In this regard, there is no difference. But keep in mind that the greater the carrying capacity of the transport, the more powerful, heavier and larger in diameter its tires are. The last factor is especially important, and here's why.
Conventional pit
Imagine that in your suburban area, groundwater is located close to the surface of the soil. That is, there is no way to go deep. This means that in order to achieve the required volume of the well, you will need not to deepen it, but to expand it. And here tires with a large diameter will fit better than others.
So, we've dealt with the material. Now you need to dig a hole for the tires. If the volume is known, the diameter of the tires too, you can start earthworks. For this you will need:
- pair of spades
- tape measure
- pegs and twine to mark the dimensions of the pit
- ladder with a length equal to the depth of the well
- bucket with rope
Lay the tire in place and outline it - this is the diameter of the future tank. Now start digging and going deeper using the listed tools. When you get to the bottom level, you need to stop and make a hole in it that reaches the groundwater. But before that, prepare a drain pipe, in which several holes are made on the sides, and cover it with a polymer mesh. Why such complex preparations?
This pipe will act as a drain. It is inserted into the prepared well. At the same time, it should rise 1 meter above the bottom - it is in this area that additional holes are made, and the grid is installed. The latter will perform the function of protecting against the penetration of large sewer waste into the drainage pipe. By the way, the top of the pipe is also covered with a mesh. The next stage is backfilling the bottom with a large rubble layer of 10 centimeters.
Tires can now be placed. There is one small nuance here that will help ensure efficient draining of the liquid. The part of the tire that will be laid up needs to be cut a little with a jigsaw.
Final stage of construction
- The topmost tire must be above the ground.
- During installation, when the height of the stacked elements reaches the inlet sewer pipe, it is necessary to make a through hole in one of the tires with a jigsaw exactly along the diameter of the pipeline. The laying direction of the tire must match the hole-pipe connection.
- The gap between the elements of the well and the walls of the pit is filled with soil as the object is erected. On the inside, all elements are sealed with silicone sealant or hot bitumen.
- A cover is installed over the constructed structure. Please note that it should be a few centimeters above ground level. In addition, it is best to install a ventilation pipe from the same plastic pipe as the sewerage system itself.
Please note that the end of the ventilation pipe must be at least 60 centimeters above the ground.
Cesspool cleaning
Tire drains, like any other structure, require periodic cleaning. There are several options using different technologies. The first is with a bucket and a rope. The second is a suction pump. Both methods require your presence. But the main problem is that the waste will have to be taken out of the cottage village. The third way is a sewage machine. Great option - fast and efficient. But not very cheap. In addition, you will need to organize a driveway for the car, which is sometimes difficult.
And the last option is the use of biological preparations that are poured or poured directly into the cesspool. Here, recycling takes place by natural decay and splitting of organic matter by living bacteria. But even in this case, the well will begin to overflow over time, so you will have to remove the waste anyway.
Design flaws
Sewer system
Digging a sewer for a hole from tires is not so difficult, and installation will be simple. But the service life of such a structure is also small - a maximum of 15 years. The main reason for failure is the depressurization of the structure. So sewerage will begin to flow directly into the ground. It is possible to repair such a hole, but it is not necessary. It is easier to completely dismantle the tires, clear the hole and reassemble the rubber well.
However, there is an option that will help increase the service life - this is a cesspool with overflow. In this case, two wells are dug and connected to each other by an overflow pipe. Sewage flows into the first well, where they settle. When the pit is filled, they begin to overflow through the pipe into the second tank.
What does it give? First, the volume of collected effluents is increasing. And, secondly, this is no longer a cesspool, but a full-fledged septic tank. So the cleaning efficiency and the quality of the system are evident. True, it is both more difficult and more expensive.
Conclusion on the topic
As you can see, it is not so difficult to build such a device as a cesspool from tires. Minimum costs, but a large amount of earthwork, so that, digging by hand, you carry more than one day. In addition, this type of suburban sewage device has an insufficient service life. But this also comes with costs.
When you need to quickly organize a simple and reliable storage of wastewater in your summer cottage, you can make a cesspool out of car or tractor tires. Old tires will make a capacious wastewater tank, which is easy to do with your own hands. "Plumber Portal" will describe in stages the technology of how a cesspool is created from tires with your own hands, so that you can independently make such a sewer in the country.
Before starting the construction of such a sewer facility, the pros and cons should be carefully considered.
Advantages:
- Old tires are perfect for making a cesspool out of tires.
- Highly economical. The minimum cost of materials for the construction of such a structure.
- There is no need to apply to qualified specialists and pay for their work, and special equipment and equipment are not needed for the work.
- Speed and ease of doing all the work. A couple of people can easily equip a cesspool from car tires in a day.
- Relatively long service life. The tire material is not subject to deformation, and moisture and insects that live in the ground cannot damage it. The service life of such a pit is approximately 10-12 years.
- It is allowed to use tires of any diameter from any cars or tractors, but even KAMAZ or Belaz.
Drawbacks:
- If a not very reliable sealant is used when installing the slopes, there is a possibility of leaks.
- An unpleasant odor may begin to spread from under the hatch that covers the tire pit.
- If the structure is damaged during active use, it will be quite difficult to repair or remove the tires.
- This design is best used in a house where no more than 2 people live, since this structure is not designed for more people.
- This design is not the best solution in case of high groundwater.
Tire toilet pit requires a comparison of the features of the arrangement, the efficiency of work with the expected operating conditions and the "loads" on the sewer system.
Where is the best place for a waste pit?
The installation of the waste collector must be planned in a place where a vacuum truck can easily drive up. Since periodically the contents of the pit will need to be pumped out.
Also, a tire cesspool should not be located near water wells and wells with drinking water. This is done so that the feces do not get into the groundwater, this distance should not be less than 30-50 meters.
A house with a deep foundation will also create some problem with the arrangement of the drain. The distance to the septic tank should not be less than 5 meters, otherwise there is a possibility of violating the integrity of the walls. In simple words, the house can "lead".
The minimum distance from the fence must be 2 meters. The best option for the location of the pit in sandy soil - in this case, it is possible to call vacuum trucks less often.
When calculating the volumes, they are guided by a simple formula: on average, 0.5 cubic meters of wastewater is taken for each person using the system. It is also taken into account that the liquid level in a fully filled pit must necessarily be 1 meter below the soil level. If this requirement is not observed, the waste can overflow over the edge of the pit, which will lead to quite serious problems.
How to dig a pit?
It is possible to dig a pit for a drain collector by one person, without the help of special equipment. The width of the pit should not be much larger than the diameter of the tire, otherwise more rubble may be required for backfilling.
- When working, it is necessary to work with two shovels of different configurations. It is easy to loosen the ground with a bayonet shovel, and a scoop shovel will simplify the task of picking up the ground. The second type of shovel can be made with your own hands, for this you need to take a shovel shovel and bend it 80 degrees relative to the handle. The handle of such a shovel must be at least 2.5 meters in order to be able to get the earth from a sufficiently large depth.
- At the beginning, you will need to outline the outline of the future pit. This is done as follows, a tire is placed on the ground and surrounded by a peg, making a small indent equal to approximately the width of a matchbox.
- A gap is required to facilitate the insertion of tires into the prepared hole. At the first stage, you can use ordinary short shovels, but when deepening, you will need to use long-handled ones.
While digging a hole, it may be tempting to go down into the hole in order to simplify the work, in this case all safety measures must be taken, since the probability of soil collapse is very high. When digging, the diameter of the pit can gradually narrow. To prevent this, it is necessary to measure the diameter of the drain collector from time to time.
Tire styling
Before constructing a cesspool from tires, it is necessary to evenly and carefully cover the bottom of the pit with large gravel, with a layer of at least 30 centimeters. This must be done in order to reduce the likelihood of bottom silting.
Tires must be processed before they are placed in the pit. Using a jigsaw, you need to cut along the inner rim, this is necessary so that debris and sewage do not collect in the roundings.
In addition, a hole must be made for the sewer pipe.
Rubber tires are fastened together using sealant and hot bitumen, in addition, the entire structure is additionally wrapped with roofing felt or sufficiently dense polyethylene.
What can be done so that the cesspool does not stand out from the tires? Everything is extremely simple. It is simply covered with a lid made of thick plastic and sprinkled with earth a little. You can even plant a flower garden on top. It is very convenient to use a wheel cap as a cover.
How to pump out a "rubber" hole?
All pit latrines require periodic cleaning. The drain collector from tires is cleaned from the contents by several methods:
- Scooping out drains with a bucket on a rope. Rather time-consuming and unpleasant work, but it does not require anyone's help or financial costs. The main problem is the export of waste outside the boundaries of human habitation.
- Drainage with drain pump. The operation of the pump requires constant monitoring and there is also the problem of the removal of runoff masses.
- Call for a vacuum truck. This method is the fastest, most effective and aesthetic. True, this will have to be spent, and this method also requires the provision of passage for a car of sufficiently large dimensions.
- Use of biological preparations. They can be found freely in gardening stores. The agent must be poured or poured into the sewer. Live bacteria will quickly process the contents, separating the dirt from the water. With this method, although less often, but, nevertheless, you will have to call the sewers.
This design is an economical option for organizing comfort in the country.
Based on their own experience, site site consultants have prepared some useful tips:
- Place the tires in such a way that the top one rises slightly above the surface. This will prevent the pit from overflowing when melt water enters it.
- The hole for the pipe is best done directly during the laying of tires in order to more accurately determine the optimal level of pipe penetration.
- Fill the gap between the tires and the walls of the pit with crushed stone during the construction of the structure, and not after all the tires have been inserted.
- Install a 60 cm high vent pipe under the top cover.
Most users who have installed such a pit on their sites speak positively about the simplicity and convenience of such a sewer system. In the event that they do not live permanently in the country, but are only short-term, then small diameter tires can be used. When installing a cesspool in the yard of a private house, it is necessary to take tires of a larger diameter, or use a different sewer system.
The main arguments in favor of a drain well from old car tires:
- Low cost. Used tires can be obtained free of charge - a lot of old tires are left for recycling at a car service or a trucking company. In extreme cases, worn-out car tires can be purchased for almost a penny at a flea market. The main item of expenditure is the arrangement of the supply pipeline.
- Easy to install. Preparing the material, installing and connecting the drain tank is a feasible task for one person. The work does not involve the use of expensive tools and equipment.
- Rubber does not corrode, so the pit will last longer than a metal barrel structure. The average service life is 10-15 years.
Do-it-yourself tire cesspool fully copes with the task. Thanks to it, the stable operation of the sewage system in summer cottages or small private houses is ensured. And despite the fact that its potential is limited to serving a small number of people, low financial costs and the speed of construction of this design make it very competitive.

If there is no centralized sewerage on the site, it becomes necessary to prepare a cesspool with your own hands. This will completely solve the issue of drainage from the house. When using tires, bricks and barrels, such sewage is completely free - and you do not need to pay a utility fee. As it fills up, you will need to contact the cesspool to pump out the contents. This will have to be done if the pit is airtight and the liquid is not absorbed into the soil or it happens too slowly.
Types of pit latrines
According to the construction principle, the pit latrine is airtight and open. The open one has an uncovered earthen bottom through which the liquid goes into the soil. In this case, sewage may enter the well, which will lead to damage and contamination of drinking water. This design is suitable for a remote area where there are no drinking sources nearby.
Sealed pit latrine has no such disadvantages. It completely retains all the liquid, preventing it from seeping into the ground. With such a design of the drain, it will be necessary to pump out the entire volume that has entered it. With an open type, this can not be done for years, especially if the filling intensity does not exceed the rate of natural absorption of the soil.
Another classification of plums is the type of materials used for construction. In this capacity, use:
- tires;
- brick or concrete;
- drums and specialized plastic containers.
Depending on the availability of materials for construction and sealing of the walls to prevent their collapse, when soaking, other materials can be used. A good solution is cesspools made of slate.
Cesspools may not be dug anywhere. Construction will require permits from local authorities. They can only be issued if strict building regulations are observed:
- Distance to the nearest building at least 5 m, and to the fence 2 m. With a drain volume of more than 1 cubic meter. only a sealed pit can be used.
The issued permit will prevent future problems. In its absence, fines may be imposed, as well as lawsuits from neighbors who are unhappy with soil pollution on their site. It is necessary that the specialist himself examined your yard and determined the optimal place where the drain will not bother anyone. Even if it is located on the alley or the path to the garage, then everything can be compensated by installing a reliable and thick ceiling for the pit.
When designing a future drain, it is necessary to calculate the trajectory of the sewer pipes so that they have as few turns as possible. If there are knees, clogging will inevitably occur. If the pit is far enough from the input, then it will not be possible to break through the cork with a conventional cable. The ideal solution would be a straight pipe arrangement with a sufficient slope. The larger it is, the less likely the formation of a garbage plug.
Important! If the sewer pipe is not dug in enough and is close to the surface, then it is necessary to insulate. In winter, freezing will inevitably appear, which will completely stop the operation of the system. This also applies to the hole itself. Its roof should not let the cold in.
Building a pit from tires
The most budgetary and costly is a drain pit made from tires with your own hands. With this choice of design, the only problem will be the need to dig a foundation pit for it. Its diameter depends on which tire is used. If the stock is needed for a summer residence, where it will be actively used only in the summer during the vacation period, then tires from a car are quite suitable. With active use - the volume will be clearly insufficient.
An ordinary do-it-yourself tire cesspool is not very productive. For a large drain, you will need tires from trucks or agricultural equipment. And it is also necessary to take into account that their diameter must be the same, so that after installation on each other it is possible to obtain an even well. Tires require the side rim to be cut off. This will prevent clogging between their folds. It is most convenient to do this with a jigsaw.
Having picked up the necessary materials, you can dig a pit. Its diameter should be only slightly larger than the tires. If the work is done manually, then it must immediately be made round; when using an excavator, the laying task will become a little more complicated. Before you make a cesspool of tires, you need to take care of the purchase of cement if complete tightness is required.
To do this, the bottom is first concreted, after which the tires are laid. A solution is poured into the space between them and the earthen walls of the pit. In order for it to fully spread, it should be pushed with a wooden handle. For a leaky structure, these precautions will not be necessary, and all that is required is to fill the voids with gravel or dug clay.
Having brought the inlet pipe from the house, it is necessary to close the pit. And you should also make a hatch to control the filling and have access to pump out the liquid. A budget option would be a slate coating, on top of which concrete should be poured. The solution must go beyond the outline of the pit so that the resulting roof is securely fixed.
Slate under the bottom will facilitate the process of pouring concrete, but will be useless for giving strength. For this, you should definitely use iron fittings, because it is better to be safe than to fall into a drain well later.
Construction of a brick drain
A brick cesspool is the oldest type of sewer wall construction. It can be sealed or with an open bottom. To facilitate construction, it is required to prepare a pit with even walls in order to lay bricks close to them. This will greatly speed up the work, especially if there is not enough experience in this area. A home cesspool made of brick is placed on a cement mortar. It is impossible to use light sand masonry, because in conditions of constant humidity, a collapse will be inevitable.
Masonry is done in half a brick in a circle. Thus, the corners hold each other tightly. With this method, additional modernization is possible to improve the tightness. To do this, you need to plaster the walls and fill the bottom. You can use the old brick, mined from the destroyed buildings. This construction method is the longest. A brick cesspool is one of the most reliable and if you use a strong mortar, then its destruction will not happen soon. It is only necessary to prepare a hole for the inlet pipe in advance, since it will be difficult to break through the wall later.
Use of a specialized container
Now on the market you can find a specialized container, which is a large barrel. It must be dug into the ground, which will protect you from having to worry about strengthening the walls and sealing. A cesspool from a barrel will cost more than the above options. Special plastic containers for cesspools are light, but large. For their delivery, freight transport is required. Some summer cottages are located in such a way that it is simply impossible to bring a barrel to them due to the complete absence of an entrance.
For the correct installation of a plastic pit pit, certain regulations must be observed. It is not enough to simply lower the barrel into the pit and cover it with earth, since with such installation a long service life cannot be guaranteed. A concrete screed should be prepared at its bottom. This will allow the barrel to evenly distribute its weight, without the risk of uneven sinking and cracking.
It should be noted that the plastic cesspool is very light and if all the liquid is pumped out, then groundwater can squeeze it out of the ground. To prevent this from happening, it will need to be anchored to the screed. This is done with chains or cables. For areas where there is not much rainfall, and groundwater is deep, such a precaution is not necessary.
A short video about the construction of a tire pit
After construction, each cesspool requires special care. It needs to be pumped out periodically. For an open design, this happens less often, but the frequency can be increased even more. To do this, you need to understand what bacteria are processing organic matter. These microorganisms decompose sewage into water and gas. As a result, a purified liquid is better absorbed than a thick slurry. For them to work, it is necessary to limit the runoff of chemical detergents that kill microorganisms.
Now on the market you can find special biological preparations with a culture of these organisms. By adding them to the septic tank, you can improve the absorption of liquid into the soil. They will also be useful for sealed cesspools, because as a result of work, an unpleasant odor is removed. At the same time, the contents of the drain become more liquid, so pumping out the sewer truck with a pump will be easier and faster.
Municipal services solve waste disposal problems in the city. But for villagers and summer residents, this issue is very acute. After all, for each house it is required to equip the sewerage system and make a cesspool.
If the holiday village is large, and for their convenience many residents want to build a common sewerage and treatment station, as a rule, all these works are ordered from companies specializing in the installation of such structures.
If you need to make a sewer and a cesspool in a single area, the easiest way is to build it with your own hands from cheap or completely waste materials. For example, you get an excellent drain pit from tires or other available materials. It is about how to build a cesspool with your own hands that will be discussed in this article.
The simplest option for arranging a cesspool is a small pit approximately equal in volume to one cubic meter. Any person can make such a hole with the help of tools available in every country house. In order to build a hole, you will need:
- Bayonet shovel in order to dig up the ground;
- Shovel, necessary for shoveling the earth;
- Axe, this tool is also usually needed for digging a hole. It would seem that he has nothing to do with such work. But in the ground there are often thick roots of trees growing nearby. It is in order to chop them that an ax is needed.
As a rule, the hole must be dug to the depth of its own height, so that its volume is sufficient for a long time.
This is the most budget option. When filling it, you can not even clean it, but simply sprinkle it with earth on top.
This design has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include:
- Simplicity of construction.
- No material costs.
- It will take a maximum of half a day to build such a hole.
The disadvantages include:
- This compost pit is suitable only for a toilet, it makes no sense to drain sewage into it. It will quickly fill up, and pumping out its contents every time is very expensive.
- This compost pit tends to crumble.
- This design is extremely unhygienic and emits an unpleasant odour.
From scrap materials
There are many ways to equip such structures from improvised materials, a do-it-yourself tire cesspool will be the best option.
If you have a lot of old, unwanted tires, they will be a great material to equip the pit. To equip such a structure will not be difficult. In order for you to get everything perfectly simple, you must follow the instructions below.
- The first step is to dig a pit, it should be slightly larger in diameter than the tires that will be used.
- The bottom of the pit must be laid with a dense material that is difficult to rot. The ideal solution would be a steel sheet.
- The next step is to lay out the tires that need to be bolted together.
- If the pit will serve as the final collection point for sewage from the sewer in the tires on the side, you must directly make an inlet for the sewer pipe, at an acceptable level for you.
- If the pit is not the end point for sewage collection, an outlet for the pipe should also be made.
The most important thing to consider when arranging is that the top level of the pit must be lower than the lowest point of the house from which waste will enter it. Otherwise, according to the law of communicating vessels, when the pit is filled to a certain level or during heavy rainfall, sewage will pour into your house.
Popular designs
All cesspools can be divided into two main types.
- Absorbent;
- Sealed.
Absorption pits
Any person who does not have a civil engineering education is able to equip it. A feature of this design is the lack of a bottom at the pit. Sewage passes natural filtration through clay, sand and crushed stone. Such a structure, as a rule, does not require frequent pumping, since the earth is able to receive a certain amount of water. But still, once every 2-3 years, it is necessary to clean the pit from silting.
An absorption pit should be built if the amount of water used in the house is not too large, because the possibility of soaking the earth is not unlimited.
Absorption circuit
Sealed waste water tanks
Sealed tanks are designed to prevent sewage from entering the soil. Such a tank can be made from many materials.
- Reinforced concrete:
- Metal;
- Plastic;
- Rubber;
- Brick.
It is not necessary to build a cinder block septic tank, it quickly collapses under the influence of water.
The downside of this design is the regular need to order the services of vacuum trucks to pump out the filled tank.
Septic tanks
A septic tank is an elementary treatment plant, which can also be built on your personal plot. Structures of this design has two positive points.
- Firstly, wastewater is treated, which, after passing through the septic tank, does not harm the environment. It can be successfully used for household needs and for watering horticultural crops.
- Secondly, during cleaning, a large amount of fertilizers is formed, which are very valuable for those who like to grow various crops on their plots.
If you have free time, you can easily build a similar structure on your site. And with the proper ingenuity, you can also save a lot of money. A budget option can be a septic tank from old car tires.
Structure and function
The construction of a homemade septic tank will take you a lot of time, but the result is undoubtedly worth it. After all, when the design is ready, you will receive as many as three bonuses as a reward.
- Saving water for irrigation and other household needs.
- Free organic fertilizer.
- Excellent septic tank.
For finer cleaning, three pits are required, located at a distance of half a meter from each other.
- As mentioned above, the bottom of the pits should be equipped so that water has a minimum of opportunities to soak into the ground. It can be concreted or laid with a steel sheet.
- We lay out the pits with an old tire, to increase the volume, you can cut off the side parts from them.
- All three pits must be connected to each other by pipes at a depth of 20-35 centimeters from the ground.
- There must be airtight covers on top of the sections of the sewage treatment plant to avoid the spread of unpleasant odors.
The principle of operation of a homemade septic tank
- The first chamber receives water directly from the sewer pipe. Here, primary, rough cleaning takes place, which is purely mechanical in nature, that is, non-liquid waste is deposited here.
- The second chamber receives only liquid. Here, special microorganisms come into play, which can be purchased at many stores at an affordable price.
- The third chamber performs the same functions as the second, but more thorough water purification takes place here. It also has a way out. The water that comes from this chamber can be used for household needs. It will be practically clean and have no unpleasant odors.
There is a simpler version of a two-chamber septic tank, for the arrangement of which you will need:
- Concrete pipe;
- Other building materials.
To equip a two-chamber septic tank, you must do the following.
- The first step is to dig a foundation pit.
