Abstract
Purpose. Many years of experience in the operation of landfills for solid waste has contributed to the development of a number of measures aimed at preventing their adverse effects on the environment. In the case of separate waste collection, up to 70–80 % of useful resources can be removed from their total amount. Removal of valuable components will have a positive effect on reducing the amount of waste to be disposed of, reduce the negative impact on the environment, and offset the costs of procurement of secondary raw materials. Methodology. In order to reduce the level of danger of the landfill, the problem of solid waste management in the Kremenchuk territorial community was studied. The current directions of improvement of the waste collection and utilization system are considered. To determine the components of waste that should be sorted, studies of the morphological composition of solid waste, as well as analyzed the possibilities of their processing in Ukraine. Results. A system of primary sorting and removal of useful components at the stage of waste collection is proposed. A set of technological solutions for optimizing the waste treatment system is recommended. Based on the research, it is concluded that the existing waste management system in Kremenchuk should be supplemented by separate collection of hazardous and organic waste, to introduce separate waste collection in the private sector. The proposed optimization of the waste management system will reduce the load on the landfill; reduce the negative impact on all components of the environment. It is also proposed to expand the infrastructure of the landfill by building the following facilities: a municipal center for sorting solid waste, a sorting station, a complex for composting organic waste. Originality. Thanks to the proposed integrated approach to waste management, which is a combination of mechanical separation and biological treatment of waste, it will be possible to reduce the amount of leachate and biogas, reduce the load on the landfill, and reduce the negative impact of waste on soils and groundwater. Practical value. Creating an effective waste management system will help improve the state of environmental and sanitary-epidemiological safety in the community. References 11, tables 3, figures 2.
