Current waste management practices in North Macedonia primarily focus on waste collection and disposal, mainly in non-engineered dumpsites. Treatment of municipal solid waste and source-separation of recyclables and biowaste is basically non-existent.
This investment project is the first countrywide undertaking in the sector and an important step towards integrated solid waste services. It supports the introduction of EU-compliant solid waste services for a population of over 1 million residents across 45 municipalities and develops environmentally safe disposal practices.
The WBIF Bilateral Donor provide grant funding for technical assistance for the development of regional waste management systems in the Vardar and Southeast regions of the country.
