Promoting Sustainable Household Engagement in Recycling via Blockchain-Based Loyalty Program

Recycling plays a crucial role in impacting national GDP and environmental sustainability. Given the complexities inherent in recycling processes, technology serves as a driving force for advancing and optimizing these practices. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, substantial initiatives are underway to foster a green environment and promote a circular economy. However, at the time of writing this paper, existing regulations mandate recycling primarily for business sectors, with no corresponding requirements for household waste collection or segregation. As a result, a significant portion of recyclable waste remains unprocessed. This paper expands upon earlier studies carried out in Jeddah, analyzing the obstacles and variables impacting sustainable recycling solutions, along with the essential conditions to boost household involvement in recycling. This study explores the potential of blockchain technology to improve household engagement by developing a blockchain-based loyalty program. The proposed system leverages the decentralized, immutable, and transparent features of blockchain technology to reward individuals with tokens for the recycling waste they produce, thereby facilitating token tracking across the recycling value chain and enhancing transparency in the circular economy. This article delves into the technical architecture of the loyalty program, aligning its domain model elements with blockchain design heuristics and integrating it with a mobile application that aims to boost recycling engagement by applying social economy principles. This innovative approach promises to overcome the current regulatory and motivational barriers, as well as promote sustainable recycling habits at the household level.

Legal analysis of the interaction between the state and citizens in the context of solid household waste regulation in the Republic of Kazakhstan

In the modern world, the problem of waste management is becoming more urgent and requires society to constantly regulate and adopt effective legislative mechanisms. In the article, the authors consider an important aspect in this area — the interaction between the state and citizens in the context of waste management. The interaction of these entities plays a key role in creating an effective solid waste management system aimed at ensuring environmental safety and sustainable development of society through the analysis of regulatory legal acts, statistical data and good practices in this area. The article discusses several key problems related to solid waste management in Kazakhstan, including a lack of information for citizens (for example, it is not enough to publish materials on websites, they must be updated regularly), unavailability of infrastructure (sorting centers are located far from public accommodation, it is not possible to take garbage to specially designated places), low motivation (due to monthly utility bills for garbage collection, many people consider, that the relevant institutions should be engaged in the collection and sorting of solid household waste or do not understand the danger of consequences for the environment), inconsistencies in legislation have been identified (there are no mechanisms for imposing fines for nonsorting garbage, as abroad) and insufficient financing (if we do not have finances, whatever industry we take, we cannot achieve high results). In order to improve the situation in society, the need to develop mass educational programs related to garbage sorting, develop infrastructure related to the sorting of solid household waste, further reform legislation related to environmental and sustainable development, and focus on strategies to attract investors and funds to this industry was justified. In the article, based on the comprehensive directions adopted by the state to support citizens in the collection and sorting of solid household waste, we came to the conclusion of a settlement of the problem associated with waste recycling. A concrete solution to these problems is manifested in the definition of general directions of development in waste management.

Urban growth and waste services: exploring scenarios in an inter-municipal cooperative framework in Sogamoso city, Colombia

ABSTRACT The spatial dimensions of city expansion in Latin America reveal the emergence of new urban agglomeration and metropolization phenomena. In this context, the goal is to implement a predictive model of land use change between 1976 and 2047 in the city of Sogamoso and neighboring municipalities in Colombia and to apply its results to a proposal for inter-municipal cooperation in the collection of solid household waste. The methodology used is based on a spatially explicit models using the CA_Markov model in Idrisi Selva software that incorporates Markov chains, multi-criteria evaluation, and cellular automata to identify future areas of urban expansion. The model forecasts urban growth from 2,420 ha in 2021 to 5,278 ha in 2047. The spatial distribution of the new urban areas implies collection routes that are ever farther away from the main urban centers. There is thus a vital need for new regional planning practices (such as inter-municipal cooperation).

“If You Want to Get Rid of Filth Diseases, You Must First Get Rid of the Filth”—The “Economic” Decision by a City Corporation to Collect Household Waste

ABSTRACT The collection of household waste is now taken for granted. Such services have a cost, borne by local/central government or householders. Literature highlights such costs, also noting how householders can reduce them by recycling. Waste collection was not always a service offered to householders, with the first such services appearing from the mid-19th century. Although accounting history literature has explored accounting in cities and the public sector, research on how costs featured in the introduction of services such as waste removal appears scarce. This paper explores the decision to introduce waste collection to every household in an Irish city and the role of accounting and costs therein. Events around this decision are analyzed using a dual meaning of economic. The findings suggest a substantivist meaning of economic was paramount and costs were considered within a public health framing. JEL Classifications: M4; N9; R0.

Analisis Pengelolaan Sampah Rumah Tangga di Permukiman Sekitar Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Desa Ibul Besar II

 The problem of household waste in Ogan Ilir Regency is increasingly complex due to the characteristics of the area which is a wetland. Poor management of household waste around the watershed can cause various problems, both environmental and public health problems. The purpose of this study is to analyze household management in settlements around the watershed of Ibul Besar II Village. This study is a qualitative study. The informants in this study consisted of 7 key informants and 5 ordinary informants who were selected using the purposive sampling method. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interview, observation and documentation (photovoice). The study results show that efforts to eliminate household waste are still very minimal. Four out of six housewives reuse used buckets. However, only two out of six housewives doing recycle. Household waste is not sorted into five types. The collection and transportation of household waste doesn’t meet the requirements due to the unavailability of TPS or TPS 3R, waste cart and limited waste transportation. The household waste is burned and also the waste is not processed. It can be concluded that household waste management in settelements around the watershed of Ibul Besar II Village has not met the requirements in accordance with Republic of Indonesia Law Number 18 of 2008 and Republic of Indonesia Government Regulation Number 81 of 2012. Â

Village-Owned Enterprise (Bumdes) Samudera Mandiri, Patumbak Subdistrict, Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia: A Descriptive Case Study

This study aims to analyze the performance of the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) Samudera Mandiri in improving the income of the Marindal II Village community, Patumbak Subdistrict, Deli Serdang Regency. BUMDes Samudera Mandiri has been operating for eight years, focusing on household waste collection. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, gathering data through observations, interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the management of BUMDes Samudera Mandiri is effective in meeting four out of five good organizational performance indicators, despite a deficit between revenue and operational costs in 2023. However, BUMDes has not significantly increased community income, having only created ten new jobs. Supporting factors include available resource potential, and support from the village and subdistrict governments and community. Major obstacles are limited budget, low community participation, and lack of human resource competencies. Recommendations for improving BUMDes Samudera Mandiri's performance include increasing business capital, enhancing cooperation with companies through CSR, training for managers, and increasing community socialization and participation in BUMDes programs. These steps are expected to allow BUMDes Samudera Mandiri to contribute more significantly to the welfare of the Marindal II Village community.

Political and financial factors motivating privatisation, its reverse and corporatisation of municipal waste collection

ABSTRACT This paper analyses different modes of provision for household waste collection and changes in that by Dutch municipalities in the period between 1998 and 2018. Based on a transition matrix, the shifts in the mode of waste collection are made transparent. In more than half of the municipalities, shifts took place, 56% towards outside production and 44% towards inside production and in later periods, inside production has become important. Furthermore, in the most recent time, reverse privatisation is preferred. We find that ideological factors have an influence on choices of provision modes and that municipalities with a more political fragmented board are less likely to corporatize or privatise waste collection. Finally, there is evidence that municipalities with a relatively negative financial position are more likely to go outside and that in pre-election years there is some hesitation to corporatize.

Household solid waste management systems in Ukraine taking into account European experience

The article defines that the solid household waste management system is a complex of organizational, technical, economic and social measures aimed at effective collection, sorting, transportation, utilization and processing of solid household waste. An effective solid waste management system helps to ensure sustainable development, reduce the negative impact on the environment and promotes the use of waste as a resource for new products or energy. The article presents the experience of Germany, Sweden and Poland in the field of solid waste management. The peculiarities of such management are described for each of the countries. It has been established that the organization of the solid household waste management system in European countries differs in a number of features, which are determined by environmental standards, social values and strategies of sustainable development, which are aimed at solving problems related to the generation, storage, processing and utilization of waste. We propose directions for improving the solid waste management system in Ukraine, namely: development and implementation of sorting systems in households (will allow more efficient use of resources and ensure their further processing); introduction of extended producer responsibility; increasing the number and development of modern facilities for the processing and secondary processing of solid household waste; attraction of investments for the introduction of the latest technologies in the processing of solid household waste; implementation of effective incentive systems for enterprises engaged in secondary processing of solid household waste; implementation of modern technologies for tracking the volume of solid household waste, its composition and transportation routes; creation of digital platforms for information exchange between waste management, enterprises and citizens; development of programs and educational activities to increase environmental awareness of the community and their active participation in the solid waste management system; revision and improvement of legislation to meet modern environmental requirements; introduction of effective fines and incentives for enterprises and citizens that comply with or violate solid waste management requirements. Improving the solid waste management system in Ukraine can be achieved with the participation of state bodies, the business sector and the public, relying on the best experience of the European Union and other countries.

Optimizing location-routing and demand allocation in the household waste collection system using a branch-and-price algorithm

In catering to the rapid development of urbanization and the growing urban population, it is essential to design an efficient and effective household waste collection system for guaranteeing a favorable ecological environment in cities. This paper focuses on a location-routing and demand allocation problem (LRDAP) in the household waste collection system where the household waste is initially allocated and transported to a set of intermediate transfer stations using a category of small garbage vehicles, and subsequently a fleet of large garbage vehicles visits each transfer station and transports the collected household waste to the waste disposal center for harmless treatment. The purpose is to simultaneously determine the location of transfer stations, the demand allocation of household waste collection and the routing plan of garbage vehicles while maximizing the efficiency of household waste collection within the whole system. Then, we formulate the proposed LRDAP into a mixed integer program. To solve our LRDAP, an exact branch-and-price (B&P) algorithm is developed along with several acceleration strategies involving column generation (CG) stabilization and heuristic dynamic programming (DP). Finally, we illustrate the proposed model and solution methodology by dealing with real-world problem instances with respect to household waste collection in China. Computational results are presented that explore the performance of our proposed B&P algorithm, analyze the optimized location-routing and demand allocation plan, discuss the impact of selected parameters, and gain some managerial insights in designing an efficient and effective household waste collection system under different decision-making conditions.

Psycho-social conditions of urban communities in the complexity of waste management: Are awareness and waste banks the main solution?

Waste management in urban areas is a critical issue in developing countries. As an environmental awareness emergency country, Indonesia faces significant waste production, particularly in its third-largest metropolis, Bandung. With the majority of its population utilizing cell phones or computers, the city has generated approximately 1500 tons of waste per day in 2022. Even though Bandung is one of the big cities in Indonesia, a staggering 54.7% of the total waste finds its way to landfills, exerting adverse impacts on the economic, social, and public health sectors. The government has pursued remedies through initiatives such as waste banks, collection services, and public education through social media. However, when delving into the intricacies of waste management, the psycho-social conditions of the community should be considered, which are often characterized by an ethos of tireless work, colloquially referred to as “crazy to work” or “hustle culture.” Consequently, waste, including its associated health risks, may be perceived as a marginal concern.This research assessed public environmental awareness and the willingness to contribute to diverse waste management endeavors financially. Such endeavors may be in household waste collection or the establishment of government-operated facilities, such as waste banks and waste collection services within the psycho-social conditions of urban communities. By employing a quantitative approach, the study surveyed 74 heads of urban households in Bandung using convenience sampling techniques and analyzed the data using SPSS tools to address the formulated hypotheses. Results demonstrate the effect of household waste management practices on the environmental awareness of urban communities. Nevertheless, the influence of waste management services, the perspectives of waste bank management, or concerns about infectious waste–related diseases on the environmental awareness of urban communities are generally not substantiated. However, the latter two aspects exert an influence on the community's inclination to support waste collection services financially. In sum, this study suggests that cultural and knowledge factors in Bandung may impede progress in the environmental sector. Therefore, recommendations encompass stringent environmental policies and laws, technological integration, and subsidies for waste reduction efforts in Indonesia's urban waste management practices.

A mathematical model of optimal pricing for the equilibrium budget balance of a company specializing in solid household waste collection

This paper proposes a pricing model to ensure the budget balance of a company responsible for collecting and treating solid household waste in a city. The model used is of the Principal-Agent type which considers two actors at play, namely the leader (the service provider company) and the follower (the households and establishments that are the beneficiaries of the waste collection service). The model is a constrained bi-level optimization program. The model was applied in the case of Benin to the Grand Nokoué waste management and healthiness Company (SGDS-GN) whose intervention area, in the beginning, covers five communes in the southern part of the country. The solving of the optimization program was made with three (03) scenarios: the company spends two (02) times a week for waste collection (scenario 1), the company spends three (03) times a week for waste collection (scenario 2) and the company spends four (04) times a week for waste collection (scenario 3). The simulation results show that scenario 2 with three (03) passages per week appears more optimal for both the company (the operating result is higher) and the beneficiaries of waste collection services (the rate to be paid is lower).

State of the field of domestic solid waste management in Ukraine

It was determined that the current state of the field of solid household waste management in Ukraine is: focused on the landfilling of solid household waste, its placement in landfills and spontaneous landfills, most of which do not meet the requirements of environmental safety; is characterized by the lack of opportunities for separate collection and processing of solid household waste; has a low technological level and a low level of implementation of innovative technologies; is characterized by the lack of a proper recycling system (including a separate collection system); limited by approaches to making complex management decisions and financial resources. It has been established that the outdated methods of managing this area, as well as the lack of a comprehensive solid waste management system, is the main problem for Ukraine, which negatively affects the environment and the health of the population. Solving this problem largely depends on state policy, legislative innovations and specific financial and economic mechanisms approved at the national level. The main priorities for changes in solid waste management policy are outlined. It has been established that the development of national legislation in the field of waste management, including solid household waste, is taking place in Ukraine. In particular, the National Waste Management Strategy until 2030, the National Waste Management Plan until 2030, the Law of Ukraine “On Waste Management” was adopted, which indicates the implementation of the basic principles and provisions of European legislation in the field of waste management, including solid household waste.

Partisipasi Masyarakat Dalam Pengelolaan Sampah Berbasis Sumber di Desa Baktiseraga Kabupaten Buleleng

Community participation determines the success of source-based waste management in Baktiseraga Village, which is waste management carried out in the village itself, so that no more waste is sent to the landfill. TPS 3R supports the sustainability of waste management that has been formed as many as 13 household waste collection networks to convey to the community to start sorting waste both organic and inorganic. This research uses qualitative methods, through data collection techniques with observation (participatory observation) and interviews (indept interviews), document studies and literature studies. To produce a thick description, interpretative descriptive analysis is used, which describes community participation regarding source-based waste management, through the implementation of the TPS 3R program. The purpose of this study was to determine, identify, understand and reveal community participation in source-based waste management, through the implementation of the reduce-reuse-recycle waste management site (TPS 3R) in Baktiseraga Village, District / Buleleng Regency. This research shows that the implementation of TPS 3R in Baktiseraga Village is an effort made to support the sustainability of waste management that has previously been formed. There are thirteen networks of household waste collectors formed to convey to the community to be able to sort organic and inorganic waste independently.

A REVIEW OF WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE EU COUNTRIES AND THE EXPERIENCE OF ITS ENERGY USE

The article is devoted to the review of waste management in the EU countries and the study of the practices of their energy use. The amount and sources of waste generation in the EU countries and the current trends in its management are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the analysis of production and collection of organic (food) waste by the population; evaluated the top 5 best European models of their collection (open container; door-to-door collection; open container on the street, accessible only to owners; collection of household waste divided into two streams «wet/dry»; composting directly on the territory of their generation). The door-to-door model has shown the highest efficiency when implemented by the households in most European countries in most cases. Two main directions of organic waste management were analyzed: composting and anaerobic fermentation with biogas production. These directions of waste use correspond to the principles of the circular economy and help to use the available potential of waste. Anaerobic digestion of waste is preferred to the composting because it produces both energy resources (biogas, which can be purified to biomethane and also converted into electrical and thermal energy) and biofertilizers (digestate). The experience of individual European countries in the energy use of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (hereinafter referred to as MSW) is presented. It is substantiated that the use of waste of various origins (households, enterprises, municipal wastewater, etc.) for the production of biogas is actively developing in European countries; both the number of manufacturing enterprises and their production capacities are growing. A trend towards an increase in the production of biomethane – purified biogas, which has a wider application then biogas – has been noted. The production of biomethane and biogas in relation to the total gas consumption in the sixteen largest European countries is analyzed, the largest percentage of substitution as of 2021 is noted in Denmark – 5% of natural gas was replaced by biogas, 19% – by biomethane. It has been confirmed that European countries are intensifying the production of energy carriers from waste in order to reduce dependence on buying natural gas from russia. An increase in energy independence on russian energy resources is expected to accelerate as a reaction to hostilities in Ukraine.

STUDY OF THE RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE IN POLTAVA REGION

The paper presents the results of research into the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of household waste generated in the territories of communities of the Poltava cluster, and a forecast assessment of the potential volumes of their generation in the coming years is made. On the basis of the collected data, a preliminary assessment of the general resource potential of household waste and the predicted volumes of the formation of individual resource-valuable components: plastic, paper and cardboard, glass, metals, organic waste was carried out.
 The study of the composition and volumes of household waste generation for the Poltava region was carried out within the framework of the development of the project "Regional waste management plan in the Poltava region until 2030" with the aim of choosing the option of creating zones of optimal coverage by the household waste management system (creating clusters) and selecting scenarios within these clusters regarding various methods of collection (including separate) and processing of household waste. The total population of the Poltava cluster is about 596,000 people.
 During the research of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of household waste generated in the territories of communities of the Poltava cluster, the potential volumes of household waste that can be collected in the future (potentially by 2024–2025) in the territories of 24 communities, that is, in the territory of the entire cluster.
 The obtained research results are the basis for making decisions and carrying out a technical and economic justification of the feasibility of building infrastructure facilities for the processing/recovery of household waste on the territory of the Poltava cluster with further use of their resource and energy potential.

Urban sprawl and home-delivered services: An exploratory analysis of spatial variations of cost and quality in Flanders (Belgium)

The phenomenon of urban sprawl is assumed to entail inefficient and cost-ineffective provision of public services. In this study, we investigate the impact of urban sprawl in Flanders on the spatial variation of the quality and cost structure of various services that are provided at home or near homes. Based on a literature review and expert interviews, we collected data with the aim of modelling such cost structures, in particular of local and regional public transport, household waste collection, and postal and parcel services. The findings differ between the various services studied. For public transport, sprawl has hardly any impact on the operational expenses and on the price charged to the traveler, but it does have a direct impact on the quality of the service. In the case of waste collection, differences in operational expenses are consolidated at the level of the collection round or collector, and differences in price or quality are hardly or not at all noticeable by the consumer. Universal postal services are tightly regulated, and consolidate operational expenses at the national level, as a result of which customers do not experience price differences, although they do face differences of distance to access points. These findings indicate that the density of address points along road segments are key to cost effectiveness of home-delivered services. Two new sprawl indicators are proposed for mapping urban sprawl, allowing to model the impact on the provision of various services: the average number of address points per kilometer mapped per road segment, and the inversion, i.e. average road distance between address points mapped per address point of a road segment. The data and models are intended to nourish the debate of whether or how spatially varying costs should be passed on to customers, and allow working towards solutions that serve a more sustainable interaction between urbanization and supply of services.

FORMATION OF ROUTES FOR THE TARGET REMOVAL OF THE HOUSEHOLD WASTE IN THE "SMART CLEAN CITY" PROJECT BASED ON HYBRID APPROACH USING EXPERT SYSTEMS

An important component of the study of the target waste collection issues is the optimization problem for the complex dynamic systems. This article analyzes the problem of optimizing the process of controlling the collection of solid household waste as a part of the broad-spectrum of "Smart City" concepts. Mathematical model for solution of the optimization problems and transport planning for the directed waste collection is proposed. The model based on the network optimization algorithms is selected. Additional loading of the refuse collection vehicle during waste collection is the basis for optimizing of the parameters of the whole process. As an optimization criteria, the cost of the services rendered, the weight of the removed waste, and the reduction in idle run can be considered. The paper describes the continuation of the investigations published in the ICCCI-21 Conference Proceedings by the development of the new approach for building the route by using of the expert system with fuzzy rules based on the traffic expert knowledge that can be implemented as a part of the decision making in the route construction system is also considered.                 TRANSLATE with x English Arabic Hebrew Polish Bulgarian Hindi Portuguese Catalan Hmong Daw Romanian Chinese Simplified Hungarian Russian Chinese Traditional Indonesian Slovak Czech Italian Slovenian Danish Japanese Spanish Dutch Klingon Swedish English Korean Thai Estonian Latvian Turkish Finnish Lithuanian Ukrainian French Malay Urdu German Maltese Vietnamese Greek Norwegian Welsh Haitian Creole Persian   //   TRANSLATE with COPY THE URL BELOW Back EMBED THE SNIPPET BELOW IN YOUR SITE Enable collaborative features and customize widget: Bing Webmaster Portal Back //     Язык этой страницы: Английский   Перевести на Русский         Азербайджанский Албанский Амхарский Английский Арабский Армянский Африкаанс Бенгальский Бирманский Болгарский Валлийский Венгерский Вьетнамский Греческий Гуджарати Датский Иврит Индонезийский Исландский Испанский Итальянский Казахский Каннада Каталанский Китайский (традиционный) Китайский (упрощенный) Корейский Креольский (гаити) Курманджи Кхмерский Лаосский Латышский Литовский Малагасийский Малайский Малаялам Мальтийский Маори Маратхи Немецкий Непальский Нидерландский Норвежский Панджаби Персидский Польский Португальский Пушту Румынский Русский Самоанский Словацкий Словенский Тайский Тамильский Телугу Турецкий Украинский Урду Финский Французский Хинди Хорватский Чешский Шведский Эстонский Японский   Всегда переводить Английский на РусскийPRO Никогда не переводить Английский Никогда не переводить jpcsip.kaznu.kz

DETERMINING THE COMPREHENSIVE TARIFF FOR HOUSEHOLD WASTE MANAGEMENT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENT AND THE VALUE OF SECONDARY RESOURCES

One of the main reasons why the EU has achieved such impressive results in minimizing landfills and increasing the rate of recycling has been the “polluter pays” principle. The cost of waste management for the producer should be equal to all the costs of eliminating its adverse effects. The results of household waste management in Ukraine lag far behind those in Europe. Less than 1% of the total amount of household and similar waste is reused. Ukraine risks not achieving the waste management indicators specified in the national sustainable development strategy if the current organizational and economic models remain dominant. Low tariffs for waste management and the absence of a nationwide segregated collection program are believed to be the main factors behind the prevalence of unsanctioned dump sites. The backlog in the implementation of recycling centers, recycling megaprojects and, finally, separate collection programs are the result of insufficient funding. This study provides a full calculation of the inclusive household waste management tariff. The approach was to find the total financial costs, including design, land acquisition, landfill construction and operating cost then, estimate the environmental costs caused by the CO2 emissions. The study estimates the real cost of collecting and transporting separately collected household waste and concludes the net cost after deducting the market value of recyclable materials. According to the results of the study, it turned out that the financial costs for the disposal of household waste in Ukraine reach up to UAH 355, and the cost of emissions may reach UAH 441/ton depending on the type of waste. The article reveals that the tariff for the collection and transportation of household waste must be adjusted depending on the density of the waste components and the market value of secondary raw materials. It has been also found that the costs of collecting and transporting some types of waste can be avoided if the recyclables are self-delivered to the recycling centers. The inclusive collection and transportation tariff, according to this study, should fluctuate between UAH 453 and UAH 1628 per ton. Finally, the study has shown that waste generator can earn between UAH 1072 and UAH 2495 when his recyclables are collected separately.

APPROACHES TO DETERMINING CONTRACTORSFOR THE COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE

The presented article was prepared in connection with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine «On Waste Management» and is directed to the current topic of the formation of a mechanism for determining business entities involved in the collection and transportation of household waste in the structure of household waste management services in territorial communities. The purpose of the scientific research is to establish an algorithm for determining the performers of the collection and transportation of household waste. The article proposes approaches to conducting a competition for the implementation of operations for the collection and transportation of household waste. It is proposed not to set limits on the number of participants in the competition to identify executors for the collection and transportation of household waste. Tender proposals of participants are considered by the tender commission, which is created by the organizer, which can be the executive body of the village, town or city council (subjects of cooperation of the relevant local self-government bodies in the forms provided for by the Law of Ukraine «On Cooperation of Territorial Communities») or the local state administration in the case delegation of powers to it by the relevant councils in accordance with the procedure established by law. The main form of the commission is holding open and public meetings at which the winner/winners of the competitive selection are determined and the minutes are drawn up. The algorithm for conducting the competition begins with the creation of a competition commission with an offer to join its work. The next stage is the preparation of relevant documentation, which should contain information about: the organizerʼs data, the person responsible for communication with the competition participants, the place of the competition, the time and date of the meetings, the requirements for the participants and their proposals, forecast tariffs, draft contracts, a detailed description of rooms and the names of the objects of the competition, explanations regarding all the nuances of the competition. Participants who submitted their bids are subject to registration in the accounting journal and further invitation to participate in the meeting of the bid committee. It is proposed that the tender commission at the meeting chooses the winner/winners of the tender that have the lowest proposed estimated tariffs for the collection and transportation of household waste and possess a greater number of advantages compared to competitors. According to the results of the meeting of the tender commission, the organizer is invited to draw up and approve the relevant protocol with subsequent conclusion of the contract. The main and additional qualification requirements for the criteria for compliance of tender offers with the qualification requirements are proposed.
