The main objective of the local waste management plan is to minimise waste impact on the environment and to increase the efficiency of resources use, for instance, by establishing a waste management system that includes control of waste generation and use and incentives for investment. The long-term objective of the local waste management plan is to establish a system of non- hazardous waste management that provides the lowest risks and dangers to the environment and conditions for preventing waste generation and ensuring re-use and waste recycling, as well as raising awareness of waste management. The Plan seeks to (1) expand and strengthen administrative capacities in the field of waste management; (2) improve the waste collection system and enlarge the total scope of municipal waste collection to 100% by 2019; (3) establish the system of selective collection, re-use and recycling of waste; (4) build a Waste Management Centre, while also closing and remediating existing dumpsites; and (5) build an animal waste treatment facility. The Plan seeks to (1) build a municipal waste treatment facility, which includes a feasibility study on mechanical-biological treatment and the construction of a cogeneration facility that uses fuel from waste; (2) build a green waste composting facility, which includes a feasibility study and technical documentation; (3) build a construction waste recycling facility, and (4) build a facility for fuel gas production from biomass. The plan includes raising awareness about proper waste handling, separate collection of hazardous waste and home composting in single-family households. Introduction of billing per member of household, by applying the principle of full compensation for costs.
Some of the special waste streams addressed in the city's plan are, for instance, used batteries and accumulators, waste oils, waste electrical and electronic equipment, waste mercury-containing fluorescent tubes. For these, the norms for collection, transportation, storage, sorting and treatment are mentioned.
