percentage

PhD (C.) Kostandin Kristo

Abstract

The transition from centrally planned economy to a market economy brought a qualitative

and quantitative waste change in Albania. Joining consumer society, the average amount of

waste per person per day rose signifi cantly nationwide. The variety of waste remained more

or less the same but the opening of import resulted in an immediate multiplying assortments.

Particularly, there was a rapid development of electronic –under products of this industry have

soared in the form of waste. Terminal dumps and landfi lls turned today to a major municipal

and governmental problem, for all countries. In Albania, during these years, because of the

constant clashes – central Government and local Government, under the infl uence of non-

governmental organizations, the various international organizations and initiatives of

prominent individuals of society, are created urban waste collections, which in most cases are

positioned very close to residential areas or buildings and allowed near urban centers. Main

aim of this manuscript is the analysis of solid waste in Albania and its recyclable percentage.

Keywords: Statistic, average recyclable percentage, overlap, oriented waste, Management,

environment.

Solid waste in Albania is recycled in the worst cases through mass burning,

accompanied from the most poisoned smoke, which is extremely harmful to the

body, fl ora and fauna. Even composting them (an economic action cost) impact on

the environment is extremely negative for surface and ground waters which are

contaminated gases release gases into the atmosphere with very harmful contents.

training to the masses of the population. Thousands of tons of urban waste generated

and stored only in two decades of market economy, contain a considerable mass of

plastic, glass and other materials, for which our underground would need thousands

of years to be fi nally assimilated.

Among centuries the created hills will extent indefi nitely for future generations

by their inhumane predecessors.

Given that the principle of subsequent natural heritage from generation to generation,

every human generation is obliged to treat the fl ora, fauna, natural resources, fossils,

remnants etc. Land in general, as a heritage property that would allow all generations

were descendants the same opportunity to be happy.

Lack of infrastructure for placement of diverse waste deposits to collect them direct
