Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the environmental issues that accompany the entire process of waste collection, transportation and disposal in Tirana Municipality. Municipal (urban) waste management has emerged as one of the greatest challenges facing environmental institutions in Tirana and elsewhere in Albania. Urban waste management is characterized by inefficient collection methods, insufficient coverage of the collection system and improper disposal of wastes and a poor environmental awareness on the part of residents. The study also provides a detailed examination of municipal wastes (organic and inorganic ones), solid wastes in the form of demolition materials hauled from construction firms, household items etc. The study does a risk analysis of the damage to environment in the way of quantification of wastes that is based on the source of collection-transportation-target disposal point and brings to light issues that are of environmental concern.
