Waste management principles on the example of Altvater Piła Group Eneris

In 2013, the Polish legal system referring to municipal wastemanagement was restructured in a revolutionary way. The analysis of new provisions of law described in the article requires particular attention, taking into account their place in the entire system of dealing with waste and connections with the remaining elements of this system. The article discussed the process of road transport operation planning connected with municipal waste transport and the organization of mixed waste collection on the example of shipping routes analysis carried out by means of transport of a service company in Wałcz commune in West Pomeranian voivodeship. The article consists of seven parts, all of which present elements of a planning and transport process connected with municipal waste in road transport from legal, technical and economic perspective. Legal information concerning a road transport of goods was provided along with conditions that have to be met in order to perform this kind of transport and business activity. Moreover, technical and legal aspects of municipal waste transport vehicles were approached. At the level of Polish law, the goals and tasks concerned with dealing with waste were set forth, which leads to tightening of the system. All actions in this respect - from propagating the selective accumulation and collection of municipal waste, keeping the established levels of recycling and recycling of packaging wastes, and limiting the mass of biodegradable waste directed at the storage - is only a beginning of the road to reduction of environmental risks. In this case, permanent monitoring of proper waste dealing in the commune, the province as well as the entire country is essential. One of the crucial reasons of the system changes of waste management in our legal system in Poland was a need to implement solutions and mechanisms that are applied in the European Union. At the European Union law level, a Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives constitutes a basic legal document described in this part of the article. Achievement of these assumptions requires providing segregation at source and recycling of the main waste streams above all. The article covered as well the characteristics of: transport process, transport technologies, transport systems, the analysis of work capacity on the basis of drivers’ working time and a description of optimal routes for providing services in the commune taking into consideration a technological process of municipal waste transport step by step. The aim of the article is to present the rules of municipal waste: management, storage, segregation, keeping appropriate records of waste in municipal enterprises on the example of Altvater Piła Group Eneris.

Obecnie ustawodawca wprowadził i zobowiązał gminy do organizowania gospodarki odpadami i zbierania od każdego właściciela nieruchomości. W związku z tym gminy są wyposażone w instrumenty prawne zgodne z ustawą z 2012 r., które umożliwiają im wykonywanie zadań. Spośród instrumentów szczególne znaczenie mają lokalne akty prawne, których celem jest określenie zasad zbierania odpadów w gminie. Mieszkańcy gminy mogą korzystać z administracyjnych instrumentów prawnych, a stosunek między gminą a przedsiębiorcą, który zbiera odpady, jest uregulowany (z uwzględnieniem osobowości cywilnoprawnej) umową o zbieraniu odpadów. Przepisy dotyczące gospodarki odpadami w Polsce obowiązują od kilku lat, jednak wciąż pojawiają się zagadnienia problematyczne pomiędzy gminą a spółką komunalną.
