of the total amount of municipal waste produced, 72% of municipal waste was sent to landfills, and 24% of municipal waste was sent for recovery. The remaining 4% consists of quantities of temporarily stored waste. In the period from 1997 to 2010, the quantities of landfilled biodegradable municipal waste increase with the increase in the quantities of biodegradable municipal waste produced. From 2011 onwards, despite the recorded increase in the quantities produced, the quantities sent to landfills have nevertheless declined as a result of the implementation of measures for separate collection of municipal waste and the construction of two waste management centers. The amount of biodegradable municipal waste produced in 2017 was 1,091,066 tonnes. The amount of biodegradable municipal waste sent to landfills for 2017 amounts to 801,238 tonnes. In 2017, separate collection of bio-waste increased by 2% compared to 2016, and is amounted to 13%, as in previous year. About 11% of bio-waste produced is being forwarded to recovery (composting, anaerobic digestion), while the rest ends up in landfills. The recycling rate in 2017 is 24%.
