The study aims to establish scientific-methodological approaches to a comprehensive assessment and monitoring of waste-generating processes and engineering facilities of municipal engineering and pub-lic services in communal, construction, transport complexes to reduce their negative impact on the en-vironment and public health, expand the separate waste collection, recycling of the waste resource potential. The study is based on the application of a set of logical and analytical research methods. We reviewed and generalised publications on the problems associated with safe handling of the waste re-source constituent in the construction and municipal complex, inventory checking and monitoring sources of waste generation. Our research results in the field of identification of waste-generating processes are presented. A new methodology for the comprehensive assessment and monitoring of waste-generating processes and engineering facilities in transport, construction and municipal engi-neering is proposed. The fundamental difference of this technique from the known documents is the focus on the resource potential of hazardous waste, its useful properties desirable in the economic cycle, their movement and circulation. The results indicate that a single integrated system is required to identify and monitor waste generation in technological processes, engineering systems, facilities of complex municipal engineering entities, separate waste collection and processing into salvageable commodities. These measures will ensure environmental security, favourable living conditions in popu-lated areas and preservation of valuable natural resources.
