“…In the field of landfilling next typical discrepancies are (on the example of Kazakhstan, MEP Kz (2015): 1) the lack of synthetic or clay liners at the majority of the waste disposal sites; 2) widespread disposal of MSW together with industrial, medical and others types of toxic and hazardous waste; 3) unsystematical compaction and interleaving of the stored waste with isolated layer (clay) or the lack of it; 4) the lack of system for collection of leachate and landfill gases (including methane); 5) excessive usage of many landfills and dumps which exceed their capacity; 6) lack of monitoring; 7) discrepancy of requirement of sanitary rules and sanitary protection zone. In Ukraine, municipal solid waste landfills are a source of contamination of the surrounding rural areas: as a result of their operation may deteriorate the sanitary state of soils, the quality of groundwater and air (Makarenko, Budak, 2017). Current regulations for design, construction and operation of landfills as well as their enforcement significantly differ from the EU Landfill Directive.…”

Waste Management in Post-Soviet Countries: How Far From the Eu?

After the collapse of the Soviet system, every new independent state selected its own way of development, own goals and speed of transformation. Dramatic changes were linked not only to the political and economic sphere, but also to environmental governance as a whole and waste management in particular. 25 years later the authors looked at 6 post-soviet countries and analysed the situation in the sector of municipal solid waste management by comparing this with EU member states (some of them have a socialistic past). We used BiPRO approach (BiPRO, 2012) and looked for answers related to the question: how far developed is the current state of waste management in post-soviet countries compared to EU members? Which factors define the potential efficiency of waste management system and its full conformity with the situation in "old" EU member states? The overall scores of 6 post-soviet countries range from 2 (Georgia) to 11 (Belarus). The common reasons for these low scores in all mentioned countries are weak waste management policies, and landfilling as a main way of waste disposal, the lack of economic instruments for stimulating reducing of waste generation and recycling, as well as underdeveloped infrastructure for waste treatment facilities. Specific problems for post-soviet countries are, for example, the high share of landfilled biodegradable waste, incomplete coverage of waste collection systems, the lack of forecasting of waste quantities and planning of waste management, preserved obsolete soviet approach to tariff policy, statistical accounting and administrative procedures in the sector of waste management. The improvement of waste management systems should aim at the legislative ban on the disposal of municipal solid waste at landfills, the re-establishment of a separate waste collection system (disestablished after USSR collapse), the establishment of economic and financial mechanisms supporting the waste processing sector and stimulating the population to reduce waste generation.

“…These effects involve groundwater, soil, and surface water contamination (Samadder et al, 2017), as well as air pollution during different stages of the final SW disposal. This includes the production of biogases such as methane and carbon dioxide produced by the natural decomposition of waste (Makarenko and Budak, 2017). The consequent soil, water, and air degradation have negative implications for public health (Njoku et al, 2019;Ziraba et al, 2016).…”

Despite environmental regulations in Ecuador, particularly in the Province of Azuay, the solid waste final disposal management is still a socio-environmental problem, worsened by weak governance processes. The province has three sanitary landfills with almost expired service lives. The site selection was based on circumstantial reasons, which makes landfills more likely to cause environmental pollution and, therefore, have negative implications for public health. The largest landfill serves Cuenca and also leases service to other small cities. The remaining two are small and, accordingly, have limited technology and fewer resources. In this context, the main aim of this study is to evaluate the terrain of the province to find the most suitable area for landfill siting. A multi-criteria decision analysis, integrated with a geographical information system and analytical hierarchy process methodology, was conducted. Fourteen factors and seven constraints were simultaneously analysed, divided into technical, environmental, social, and economic categories; 15 of these criteria were from the Ecuadorian Unified Text of the Secondary Legislation of the Environmental Ministry. According to the results, 76.17% of the territory is not suitable for landfill implementation, and the unrestricted area represents the remaining 23.83%. The highest landfill suitability index (70–81%) is located in the south of the province in Santa Isabel, Oña, and Nabón cantons, which are dry and clay-rich areas.

Background: Waste causes negative impacts on animal species and their habitats. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the status of animal species based on the effects of human wastes. Methods: This study was carried out in villages of the Oshtorankooh protected area of Lorestan province in 2019. Sampling and measurement of waste were used to analyze the quantity and quality of the waste of 42 villages in the protected area. The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), in combination with the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) was applied to evaluate the effects of waste on animal species. Results: The average total of solid waste generation rates was 555 g/day, and the average density of waste was 412 kg/m3. Also, the results of ranking showed that Canis lupus, Vulpes vulpes, and Hyaena hyaena were ranked with the highest scores of 2.260, 1.958, and 1.948, respectively, and the most effects will be on these species. Conclusions: It is necessary to consider the impacts of waste on animal species, and according to the results of TOPSIS and impacts assessment, the presented method has shown good performance.
