European Union
European Union
ISPA (Instrument for Structural Policies for Pre-Accession) granted design and tender preparation project in the field of Solid Waste management.
Within the Vilnius County, the waste management system needed improvement by setting up a regional approach.
The objective is to provide for an environmentally sound, efficient, affordable and cost-effective waste management system, complying with national and international standards and requirements. About 120 old municipal landfills will be closed (and rehabilitated) and a new regional landfill is established. The establishment of the new landfill includes linings, structures, internal and external roads, leachate and landfill gas treatment and mobile equipment. For separate waste collection twelve civic amenity sites and 100 drop-off centres are foreseen.
