Abstract

The improper management of municipal waste may lead to soil, water and air contamination and it may also become a danger for human health. The quantity of municipal waste generated per capita in Romania is relatively low compared to other European Union countries. At European level, in 2010 municipal waste was treated as follows: 38% was landfilled, 22% incinerated, 25% recycled and 15% composted. In Romania approximately 94% of the municipal waste was landfilled and 6% reused and recycled, according to the Romanian National Environmental Protection Agency. To reach the targets set in the national and European waste legislation, Romania must make considerable efforts.
