THE PROBLEMS, ACHIEVEMENTS AND TRENDS IN WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA

The main problems of waste management in the Republic of Moldova are: 1) spontaneous and illegal dumps; 2) overload the landfill in some localities and their modest use in others; 3) most ramps do not meet sanitary-hygienic and ecological security; 4) deplorable condition and even lack of paved or asphalted access roads to the landfill; 5) inadequate treatment of organic sludge from wastewater treatment plants; 6) animal wastes from household; 7) low efficiency of public services of waste management. In recent years, there was a significant reduction in unauthorized landfills and promoting the concept of integrated waste management. A national network of waste management is being developed, which will include inter-municipal and interregional polygons storage, sorting and transfer stations and waste incineration plants.
