problem has become a
wide variety of wastes both municipal waste

To mitigate this
problem, important for
each country to develop
a waste management
plan and the plan to
achieve in life.
Waste management in Latvia


In recent years, Latvia has also drawn attention to
the minimization, recycling, waste disposal, or begun
to develop a systematic and sustainable waste
management structure.
Properly organized management system should
provide information on key waste producers, waste
and modified time - weekly, annual, five-year cycle


Latvian territory currently operates 252 landfills, 251
is closed. Of the 1998th and 2000. recultivated 55
landfills, the total area of them are 67.8 ha.
All dumps total area is 853.5 ha. Most of the landfills
(77%) are less than 2 ha. The largest rubbish dump
is a dump of Riga "Getliņi" - 35 ha.

Getlinu site in recent
years is a very improved
waste management, there
is arranged to carry the
waste treatment in line
with European standards.

Latvian every year are generated around 600-700
thousand tonnes of waste from
which 30% are commercial and institutional waste.
Collected is only 50 - 60% waste.
Waste management services are delivered to
approximately 80% of urban population and only
20% of rural population. Waste collection and
disposal of the urban service companies, of which
95% are local companies.
Waste sorting



Separate waste collection system
designed to gather various types
of shared waste.
To the traditional (common)
collection of waste is much more
difficult for future use. Therefore, it
is sorted waste.
In an environment where resource
consumption is growing worldwide
and amount is decreasing,
becoming more profitable to
produce new products out of
recycled materials.

Latvian sorted waste collection system is still in
place and in most cases it is available in large towns.
We sorting waste by placing them in different colored
containers.
1. Green meant clean and, preferably, unfractured glass bottles
and jars
2. Yellow assignable to pure PET bottles, as well as clean and dry
cardboard and paper packaging, newspapers, magazines,
books and writing.
3. While the dark containers for other unsorted household waste.
