Development of waste management scenarios and assumptions
Main objectives for the development of the Investment Programs for the necessary infrastructures:
ensure compliance with the national and EU legislation;
ensure affordable long term project planning and optimal utilisation of EU funds;
define a long-term, cost-efficient, waste management investment plan.
contribute to the national commitments and compliance of the infrastructures with the National Waste Management Programme 2009-2013.
XI International Symposium WASTE MANAGEMENT – ZAGREB 2010 Zagreb, Croatia, November 25th and 26th 2010
Current situation of waste management in Bulgaria
Landfilling of waste - most of the landfill sites do not fulfil the specifications of the Landfill Directive;
Closing and rehabilitation of non-conforming sites is still pending;
Waste recycling, treatment and disposal facilities will be implemented in 23 regions;
Mandatory targets for 50% municipal waste recycling by 2020.
XI International Symposium WASTE MANAGEMENT – ZAGREB 2010 Zagreb, Croatia, November 25th and 26th 2010
Current situation regarding waste collection and disposal in the assessed regions
Transportation takes place by both modern vehicles and older skip carrying trucks;
Waste management operations are performed by private or municipal owned companies;
Waste is disposed in local, unprotected municipal landfills and have their permit officially prolonged until end of 2009 or until the new regional landfills are constructed
No sealing works or other pollution abatement technical works were envisaged for the current disposal sites;
Pollution risks of varying levels were identified;
Both municipal and Construction & Demolition (inert) waste is accepted for disposal;
Many of the sites are neighboring to a surface water aquifer, with direct discharge of leachate.
The municipal dumpsites will be closed, covered with an impermeable layer and rehabilitated, following a detailed design study.!
