Among solid wastes one may distinguish mixed wastes, segregated
wastes (collected selectively) and biodegradable wastes originating from
open-air markets, green areas or cemeteries. Mixed wastes have constituted
the largest proportion in the stream of municipal solid waste (MSW),
both before and after the changes in waste management system in Poland
introduced on 1 July 2013. The other group, regarding the collected wastes
volume, is so-called segregation. It has been forecasted that in the nearest
future the amount of segregated wastes will be successively growing. The
article presents the analysis of selectively collected wastes (paper, plastics,
glass and metal) indicators from lower administrative units of Liszki and
Mogilany communities. The degree of segregated wastes accumulation
efficiency was assessed on the basis of conducted computation. The communities
selected for the analysis are suburban municipalities, situated in
the area of Krakow agglomeration in the immediate vicinity of the main
city of the Malopolskie voivodeship.
The main aim of the work was an assessment of selective accumulation
of municipal solid wastes in suburban communities. Values of quantitative
indices, characterizing mixed and segregated municipal solid waste
generated by the inhabitants of individual lower administrative units of the
studied communities were subjected to a detailed analysis. The data assumed
for the investigations cover the period from July 2012 to June 2013.
As results from conducted analyses actual indices of wastes accumulation
differ from the indices determined on the basis of statistical data and
the data stated in the Waste Management Plans, which may evidence a high
ecological awareness of the analysed areas inhabitants. The efficiency of selective waste accumulation in the analysed communities was on a similar
level and exceeded 20%, i.e. was twice higher than the average for Poland.
