The document stipulates that the service shall be organised by local authorities either through direct management or by delegation – on the basis of a contract concluded between them and the operators.
The regulations stipulate that all residents and legal entities located within the boundaries of a settlement are entitled to use the service. They set out the organisation of the separate collection of household waste into five categories (paper and cardboard, glass, plastic and metal, bio-waste, mixed waste), as well as its transport. At the same time, operators are given the option to commence services with three fractions: recyclable waste (paper and cardboard, plastic and metal), mixed waste and glass.
The regulations impose additional obligations on operators: the use of the shortest routes and/or those with the least impact on public health and the environment, and the collection of waste in its entirety, with the exception of hazardous waste, etc.
The costs of operating the service will be borne by operators or local authorities within the limits of the appropriations provided for in their budgets, as well as through donations, grants and other sources. In addition, users will pay for waste collection services through a tariff or a special tax and/or a waste collection charge.
