Description
Description | The Municipal Solid Waste Management Project in Latvia demonstrates modern, self-sustaining management of municipal solid waste through maximum collection of generated methane, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating a revenue stream to cover capital and operational costs of the improved landfill. The project's components 1) remediate the existing site to meet environmental requirements in regard to leachate treatment and to avoid future groundwater contamination, 2) provide technical and operational improvements to meet western sanitary landfill standards, and arrangements for improving the separation of recyclable materials; 3) establish energy cells for enhanced degradation of easily biodegradable waste, landfill collection, and electricity generation; and 4) provide technical and managerial assistance through twinning arrangements. |
