Abstract
Improvement of the municipal waste collection system in the cities of Russia and the Republic of Iraq
Incoming article date: 09.12.2024The subject of the research in the article is the collection system of municipal solid waste (MSW) from the population of cities and towns to ensure the environmental safety of the population. The current state of the waste management system in the world and in Russia is analyzed, and recommendations for regulating the management of solid household waste are being developed. The purpose of the research is to estimate the number of containers needed to collect waste from the public. The assessment was based on regulatory documents developed in the Russian Federation. The basic requirements for the organization of sites for the installation of containers for the collection of MSW are also given. The Russian Federation already has experience in implementing a waste management system. Currently, infrastructure facilities have been created and operate in the territories of many cities of the Russian Federation that organize the collection, disposal or burial of waste. Laws and regulations have been developed and implemented, and a system of regional operators responsible for waste collection, transportation, processing, and storage has been implemented. In this paper, we consider only household waste, called municipal solid waste (MSW).When implementing a waste management system, at the first stage it is necessary to create conditions for waste collection from the population, and, in the future, to develop this system in the direction of separate waste collection. Waste categorization can be carried out at special installations, in production conditions. The next step is the reuse of waste for the production of new household goods.
