However, the full capacity of the site was not reached, of the designed 44.2 million m only 19 million m3 was used. The designed waste generation rate was overestimated and the Tintareni landfill has potential to receive waste from Chisinau for another 20 years. Due to the closure of Tintareni landfill, “I.M. Regia Autosalubritate” does not have any other option than dumping waste in a temporary location in the vicinity of the waste transfer station, without any measures to control potential pollution.
