Municipal waste is defined as waste from households and other sources, such as retail, administration, education, health, accommodation and food services and other services and activities, which is similar in nature and composition to household waste. Municipal waste should therefore include, inter alia, waste from park and garden maintenance, such as leaves, grass and tree clippings, and waste from market and street cleaning, such as the contents of rubbish bins and rubbish, with the exception of materials such as sand, stones, mud or dust. The rules and guidelines for municipal waste management are, of course, set by the relevant legal regulations, first of all the regulations and directives of the European Union, then the laws, government regulations and decrees. The Czech Republic is obliged to implement all EU regulations. The number of regulations adopted at the level of the European Union has been so great in recent years that they no longer even "roll over" into Czech Act No. 1852001 Coll. on waste, but only references to the relevant EU standards are inserted. The aim of the presented article is to define the procedures for waste treatment of a selected municipal company operating in the city of Havirov.
Waste management is a public service, the provision of which is the responsibility of local authorities. The area of waste management is currently very strongly regulated in the national and European and at the same time monitored by the civil public with a strong context in public election processes. Expenditures on waste management make up a relatively substantial part of municipal expenditures not only in the Czech Republic but also in developed countries, which is why a number of economists are paying attention to them. This emphasis is related, on the one hand, to the fact that they are interpreted from public sources and belong to the categories of environmental expenditure. Significant influences influencing the above factors include the standard of living of the population in each region and their consumption patterns, population density, geographical conditions, transport services, methods of collection and transport of commodities, availability and equipment of waste management technologies, competition of companies handling waste, the method of setting the price for the service and more. Green competition in waste management is very important, because environmental issues, the principle of circular economy, etc. and a properly set strategy based on results, will support and improve management and social thinking about waste companies. The aim of this paper is to present the results of waste management in the city of Havirov in terms of time and money. The results are old so that the consistency of the data obtained is maintained.
Waste management is currently a priority for everyone. Everyone today focuses on reducing, reusing and recycling our waste. Nevertheless, the best solution is to recover energy from the rest of the waste. The reason is that this part is a sustainable part of the waste management chain, which makes it possible to produce valuable and renewable energy. This sector is among the cleanest in Europe by reducing emissions of pollutants from operations, which convert waste into energy, which is subject to the strictest regulations in the world. The aim of the proposed article is to evaluate the use of waste for energy use in the Czech Republic. Thermal decomposition of waste, the aim of which is to obtain energy, can be carried out in several ways. The facilities for energy utilization of solid alternative fuels from municipal waste include so-called multi-fuel boilers, cement plants, heating plants and power plants using co-firing together with coal or equipment directly intended for energy utilization of these fuels. The use of alternative fuels in large energy installations is still rather rare. The article presents the results and confirms the results of studies that capacity facilities for energy recovery of waste are insufficient in the conditions of the Czech Republic, both in terms of capacity and technology. In addition to its own facilities, the necessary infrastructure for waste transport was also assessed from a conceptual point of view. One third to half of the waste is transported over a distance of 10 to 20 km. This is related to the supply of heat to the central heat supply, where the facility for energy recovery of waste is located at the place of waste production.
Environmental policy is a relatively young science that originated in the late 60's and early 70's. The term environmental policy is used not only to describe national, international, global, regional or local environmental policy. Today, environmental policy is formulated by a number of other entities, primarily political parties, but also entities of the business sphere or the public sector. The Industrial Revolution is considered to be a fundamental milestone in the dynamics of human society's development, scope and manner of use and disruption of the environment and its functions. The extent of the use of the environment has been steadily growing rapidly. All company activities always affect the environment in some way. Activities related to industry, trade, transport and agriculture can be a source of high pressure on the environment. Considerate and responsible behavior with respect to the environment can be expected for companies due to legislative regulations requiring such behavior or this behavior is in line with the goal of making a profit. The aim of this paper is the environmental policy of the municipal company and its outputs, which are applied in the company's practice.
