Urban waste management and economic benefits from them – Case study Mitrovica Region
Session
Agriculture, Food Science and Technology
Description
Elimination of urban waste is a vital link in the beginning-end concept of urban waste management. Waste volumes are projected to grow continuously as far as relevant institutions and other actors will not take actions to solve this problem. The total amount of these waste is increasing each year. On the other hand; the current emphasis on pollution prevention as well as the development of treatment technologies results in the reduction of urban waste volume. Waste prevention will be a key element of an integrated policy. In this regard, strong measures are needed to encourage reuse, reduce and recycle of waste, which is also called "waste hierarchy". Waste Integrated Management is a comprehensive system which requires the application of landfill technologies or incineration. This study aims to identify and present the current situation of waste management in the city of Mitrovica. It also aims to create a model in selecting the method of urban waste management that can be implemented in the Municipality of Mitrovica using the Cost- Benefit Analyze as a major criterion of evaluation.
