bulky waste

1. WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
The existing legal and institutional framework,
as well as the existing situation in management
of municipal, industrial and medical waste, was
reviewed. The reviews were concluded with an
analysis of strategic issues and deficiencies.
The strategy for future management of waste
contains a proposal for the development of the
waste collection system to include source
separation of MSW by means of a decentral-
ized collection point system and a central
source sorting and waste transfer station.
Selected waste materials will be separated with
the purpose of sale to specialised industrial
enterprises while residual wastes are transferred
to the landfill.

Currently twelve (2006) points for collection of separated waste are in operation. According to investi-
gations carried out in 2005 per capita small-sized mixed solid waste (MSW) generation in modern
residential areas of Novgorod amounts to 1.76 m3
/year (approx. 265 kg/person/year).
The above average amount of MSW comprises household wastes and yard cleaning wastes.
The average density of the MSW is 151 kg/m3
.
Big-sized MSW average per capita from the abovementioned residential areas amounts to 0.420
m3
/year, 75 kg/ person/year.
The average density of the big-sized MSW is 177 kg/m3
.
The big sized MSW comprises worn-out furniture; refrigerators, TVs, large cardboard boxes, apart-
ment renovation wastes, as well as green waste i.e. mowed grass and branches from yard trees.
The waste management strategy and institutional strengthening component of the Novgorod Solid
Waste Management Project focussed on strategic planning and institutional aspects of the entire Waste
Management System.
A general solid waste management strategy framework for municipal, industrial and medical waste
management was prepared, and proposals for institutional strengthening presented. This activity can be
regarded as a first step towards the development of a comprehensive waste management strategy for
Novgorod City and its neighbouring districts.
Strategy Framework

2. WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

The estimated waste flow in Novgorod City in 2012 (based on the investigations of 2005) is presented
below.
Strengthening of the institutional structure has highlighted a need to approach the regional and the
local level in the Oblast. The regional institutional strengthening requires the preparation of a regional
solid waste management strategy. The strategy could lead to extension of the catchment area of an
upgraded Novgorod landfill and to unify the municipal procedures related to contracting, tariff calcula-
tion and waste collection.
On local level, the Committee for Environment headed by Chairman Mr. V.A. Sitnikov has been estab-
lished as one of the structural units of Novgorod City Administration. This will considerably facilitate
the development of the MSW management system.

Following the development of the SWM system, it has been pointed out that the increased responsi-
bility for Novgorod City Administration warrants the establishment of a separate waste management
department e.g. under the Committee for Environment with new/ additional personnel resources.
A Corporate Development Plan - prepared during 2004/05 for JSC Spetsavtokhoziastvo addresses in
detail where and at what level the institutional strengthening of the company must be implemented.
The quantities of municipal waste and municipal waste-like products, generated in Novgorod, were
assessed. Based on previous waste sorting trials and actual data on collected quantities of recyclable
waste fractions performed by JSC Spetsautokosiastuo and private collectors, different options for
future collection systems were evaluated. In addition, the most relevant waste fractions for collection
and industrial recycling were identified.
According to investigations carried out in 2005, the MSW production in Novgorod per capita (size of
households untold) is presented below.
WASTE SORTING STRATEGY
Overall Description
Wastes include:
Ordinary household waste
Quantity per capita
1.76 m3
/year or
266kg/year.
Average density
151 kg/m3
Kitchen waste, small dwelling repair
fragments and yard cleansing wastes
Bulky and green waste 0.42 m3
/year or
75 kg /year
178 kg/m3
Waste furniture, refrigerators, TV sets,
cardboard boxes, large dwelling repair
fractions and yard waste (branches,
grass cutting etc.)
A time and activity schedule was suggested and discussed with the Novgorod City Administration. The
schedule mainly includes targets related to the implementation of selected collection schemes. Almost
all waste producers are targeted in the waste sorting strategy.

The progress of the implementation plan will be highly influenced by the financial resources available
during the strategy period. Investors in the new collection equipment will be both public and private
entities. One of the private entities to be included in the scheme will be private housing associations.
