Summary

Introduction

One of the main factors of modern environmental pollution that affects the ecological situation is the city’s economic activity. The growth of industry and population leads to an unconditional increase in the volume of municipal solid waste. The localization of waste at landfills leads to secondary soils pollution, removal of significant areas from useful turnover. There are three main options for the municipal solid waste disposal: the organization of landfills; waste incineration; waste recycling [1]. Waste recycling is the most resource-saving way, but not always economically viable.
