Municipal Waste Management in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alanya

From the next year in Russia, a new system of solid municipal waste (SMW) management will start operating which will be the result of a deep reform of the industry. The new system assumes a significant increase in the volumes of separate collection and sorting of garbage, which will reduce its disposal at landfills. The reform will result in a significant improvement in the domestic waste management, especially in rural areas and the private sector around large cities suffering from illegal refuse dumps. The section of the law related to the powers of local authorities in the field of solid municipal waste management will go into force on January 1, 2019.
