Good practice:

Integrated Waste Management System Alba

The practice was implemented within the Integrated Waste Management System Project financed by the Sectoral Operational Program Environment, Priority Axis 2 - Development of Integrated Waste Management Systems and rehabilitation of contaminated sites and the Project “Phase of the Integrated Waste Management in Alba County ”funded by the Large
The aims of the project were the construction of an ecological landfill in accordance with European requirements, construction of transfer stations, sorting and mechano-biological treatment facilities, closing and rehabilitating existing storage sites that do not comply with European requirements.
Through the project were built 2 transfer stations , the Tărtăria transfer station with a capacity of 33044 t / year and the Blaj transfer station with a capacity of 15000 t / year. The collected waste is transported to treatment and disposal facilities .
The sorting station has a capacity of 42213 tons / year and ensures the sorting of the dry fraction collected separately. The mechanical-biological treatment plant has a capacity of 85566 tons / year and ensures the treatment of the wet fraction (residual and biodegradable waste).
The warehouse, with an estimated lifespan of 21 years, has 2 cells and a total volume of 1926000 m3. The first cell is built and has a lifespan of 5.5 years and a volume of 543,000 cubic meters.
The main beneficiaries of this good practice are the population of Alba County.
