YEREVAN. - Reform of the solid waste management system in Armenia
will require 173 million euros, representative of Danish COWI company.
Andrik Mols, representative of the Danish company, participated in
the third forum of village communities held in Jermuk where waste
management was discussed.
The company offered five schemes with a budget from 136 to 210 million
euros. Each scheme referred to centralization of landfills which
arise spontaneously and are not recorded in almost all rural areas.
The country will be divided in five zones to create a landfill of 20
hectares with a validity of 20 years in each of the areas. The waste
will be brought to one station and then transported to a centralized
landfill. The latter will have to meet all sanitary standards,
including drains, fencing and protection from contact with the soil.
However, waste collection fee will rise considerably to cover
investments. As compared with current rate of 200 drams a month per
person, it will rise to 415 drams in Yerevan.
The Ministry of Territorial Administration of Armenia has already held
the first hearing on the project and plans new debates in the future.
