The article presents the problems of municipal waste management by local self-governments in Poland. Municipal waste in Poland constitutes a number of problems for the local authorities of both small communities and large municipalities, which force the use of new efficient organizational solutions and the need to make costly investments in infrastructure. Waste management is not only a technical problem, but it is also an area which involves various actors throughout society. The need of application of logistics solutions to the effective management of municipal waste is pointed. As an example of municipal waste management system it was considered the waste management plan for the Capital City of Warsaw. This plan was assessed in terms of respecting the principles of sustainable development and the requirements of the logistics system. Proposals of amendments to the Law on Waste developed by self-government organizations are presented. |
