The development maintains and operates a selective solid waste management system and unburden the municipal solid waste landfills in the area.
The new development separates the mixed municipal solid waste collected from the region, which transformed the waste management method. The aim of the program is to develop the waste management system in the associated municipalities, including the selective waste collection.
Necessity of the investment: a selective waste management would already be needed to carry out the industrial preparation for selective waste collection in the Vas county. The population does not have sufficient equipment for selective collection and home composting, so in the absence of these, the development of selective collection is not feasible despite the commitment of the population, therefore the development of the selective waste collection equipment is necessary.
With the development of selective waste collection, this technical need will be further enhanced, therefore, making the investment is inevitable.
Solution:
The goal is to implement the maintenance and operation of the solid waste selective waste management system.
Stakeholders and beneficiaries:
- 127 associated settlements (town and village) in Vas county
Resources needed
The total cost of the project was 7,5 million EUR.
Evidence of success
Results:
• Solid waste selective waste management system built in the area
- 1 waste sorting plant was built in Szombathely,
- 7 waste yards and 80 waste collection islands were completed,
- the system of the bag selective waste collection was developed
• Agreement from the beginning of all the partners of the consortium: 127 associated municipalities
Potential for learning or transfer
This kind of consortium can be used to attract new investments in the waste management system and also can be considered as a good practice for other regions.
The implementation of the practice requires the support of an national waste management agency or a similar entity with policy capacity.
