The paper studies the organizational and economic aspects of managing the development of the waste management sphere. The analysis shows that, despite the formation of a new system for the management of municipal solid waste (MSW), within the framework of which a state register of waste disposal facilities and a federal waste classification catalog have been created, the territorial infrastructure of regional operators of MSW management has begun to function. There is a number of problems associated with the transition to a cyclical economy, the methods of which ensure the life cycle of municipal waste management together with reuse by means of restoration, modernization and inclusion of new components in the sphere of MSW management, bringing additional income and preserving the quality of the environment, transforming consumer products into reusable resources. The materials and methods proposed in the paper include approaches that pay attention to the initial phase of the life cycle of municipal waste management - the stage of organizing separate waste collection, including separately for organic waste, which requires joint construction, technological, financial and social decisions with close cooperation of the state, business and population. The list of target indicators for territorial schemes should include indicators of the availability and accessibility for the population to separate municipal waste by type within walking distance from the place of residence. New technologies are required for the separate collection of organic waste. Also, new design solutions for the separate collection of municipal waste are needed in residential buildings under construction. In order to coordinate management, it is proposed to develop an automated information system at the federal level - the Management Center for the Municipal Waste Complex, which will allow including all regional operators into a single industry information system in order to monitor waste management processes, coordinate and make decisions to ensure their sustainable functioning.
