Armenia falls behind in the matter of waste recycling, Head of
Development and Investment Programs Department of the Municipality of
Yerevan Eduard Nersisyan said during a TV bridge with his Russian
colleagues.
"The problem of garbage is a priority on the Municipality's agenda,
which focuses on creation of a waste recycling system in Armenia", he
said.
According to Nersisyan, the first step for regulation of the garbage
issue was the adoption of new legislation.
"By means of the new law we are going to systematize the garbage
disposal payment, which is subsidized by the Municipality by 40% of
the whole amount because of irregular payments of citizens", he said.
The Russian colleagues presented the Russian experience for waste
disposal and recycling and discussed the prospects of creation of new
structures regulating the given issue.
To recall, on June 21 the Armenian National Assembly also discussed
the amendments to the Law "On garbage disposal and sanitation
service".
In addition, a tender for creation of a waste recyscling system will
be announced in July. According to the preliminary data, a total of 16
operators will take part in the tender, and most of them are
representatives of Western and Eastern Europe.
The agreement on cooperation and construction of a waste recycling
plant will be signed in late 2011. There are 250-300 thsd tons of
solid waste in Yerevan, 80% of which is at Nubarashen waste disposal
site.
