YEREVAN, July 1. / ARKA /. The Yerevan municipality plans to implement
an investment project worth from 17 to 20 million euros to build a
new landfill, Edward Nersisian, head of a municipality department
overseeing development and investment projects, said today.
He said the municipality is still considering which option is better -
either to build waste incineration plants or facilities for sorting
and processing of secondary raw materials.
But he cited experts who say the most correct option is to have a
facility for "re-use of these resources."
"According to Austrian experts, 90% of garbage can be processed and
recycled and only 10% can be stored," he explained.
He said also the new landfill will be built on the territory adjacent
to the largest Nubarashen landfill in Yerevan on 52 hectares. The
Nubarashen dump will be closed in accordance with modern environmental
standards.
