“…It is important that these processes are carried out in a sustainable and safe manner for the environment. This requires both advanced technologies and close cooperation between various waste management entities, as well as compliance with legal regulations and environmental standards (Wąsowicz et al, 2020). In conclusion, the current state of knowledge on municipal waste management is based on an integrated waste management system that includes selective collection, processing, and waste control.…”

“…Successful municipal waste management translates into the life quality improvement for the community. That means financial criteria should not solely be taken into account, ethical or environmental ones are equally important to satisfy the needs of the local community [37]. Consequently, the costs of waste management need to be related to expected environmental benefits, and also acceptable for the members of the local community [36].…”

Selective Collection of Municipal Waste in a Residential District with Multi-Family Buildings—Case Study from Poland

et al. 2021

Social and economic changes make it necessary to put in a great deal of conscious effort to shift towards a closed-loop economy, where waste provides a source of raw materials. The low level of selective collection of municipal waste poses a challenge in many countries, including Poland. One of the major causes of the problems in Poland lies in the fact that waste collection points (WCPs) do not have adequate waste containers. The paper aims to put forward a proposal to improve the operation of WCPs. Seeking for new solutions, it is necessary to account for the conditions under which the bodies responsible for waste management take their decisions. They have to comply with the legislation in force, and at the same time, choose the options that generate the lowest costs. The study concerned a typical residential district with housing in multi-family buildings. For two fill rate variants and four emptying schedules, the number of above-ground containers was calculated. Two variants: for above-ground containers (variant I) and for semi-underground containers (variant II), were compared in terms of operating costs and investment outlays. The proposed increase in the number of above-ground containers, and additionally providing semi-underground containers, will contribute to increased engagement of the local community in the selective collection of waste.

Realizacja celów pracy oraz weryfikacja tez wymagały podziału treści na sześć rozdziałów, wstęp i zakończenie. Przedmiotem pierwszego rozdziału jest geneza i charakterystyka gospodarki komunalnej, sposób jej funkcjonowania w Polsce oraz modele, w ramach których gospodarka ta może być realizowana. W rozdziale drugim opisano unijne i krajowe regulacje dotyczące funkcjonowania systemu gospodarki odpadami komunalnymi. Rozdział trzeci obejmuje charakterystykę obszaru badań empirycznych niniejszej pracy, kryteria wyboru modeli świadczenia usług z zakresu gospodarki odpadami komunalnymi oraz omówienie konstrukcji autorskiej metody – wskaźnika EGOK. W rozdziale czwartym scharakteryzowano model komercyjny, outsourcingowy i mieszany wraz z regulacjami prawnymi dotyczącymi ich zastosowania. W rozdziale piątym opisano zastosowanie poszczególnych modeli w gminach województwa podlaskiego w latach 2015–2021 wraz z wyliczeniem wybranych wskaźników rentowności przedsiębiorstw realizujących usługi z zakresu gospodarki odpadami komunalnymi. W rozdziale szóstym przedstawiono uzyskane wartości efektywności mieszkańca, efektywności gminnej i ogólnego wskaźnika EGOK w analizowanym okresie. Rozdział ten zawiera również porównanie ze sobą wartości EGOK modelu komercyjnego, outsourcingowego i mieszanego w gminach wiejskich, miejsko-wiejskich i miejskich. Wnioski wynikające z przeprowadzonych badań wraz z rekomendacjami dla władz lokalnych i krajowych w zakresie gospodarki odpadami komunalnymi zawarto w zakończeniu pracy, a jej konstrukcję uzupełnia aneks statystyczny, w którym zebrano podstawowe dane wykorzystane na potrzeby badań.
