The view on collection of MSW from a territorial perspective (table 8.2) shows that the majority of MSW is generated and collected in Chisinau - more than two thirds of all MSW collected in the Republic of Moldova. Thus, the increase in collected MSW can be related to the increase in GDP per capita (PPP based) in the capital, but in other parts of the Republic of Moldova the increase in collected MSW was higher than the national average and, therefore, improvement of collection services may be the reason for the reported increase in MSW. The results indicate a high proportion of biodegradable waste.
