The need to increase municipal solid waste recycling rates has led to the study and
analysis of recycling schemes from the perspective of the technical issues that may be involved.
This paper compares two waste collection systems, which are operating in th
e Vysočina region
of the Czech Republic: a municipal solid waste collection system for paper (including cardboard)
and a biodegradable municipal solid waste collection system. Both collection systems were
introduced at different times to cover one selected
urban area. The emphasis has been placed on
an evaluation of the development of individual, separate collections between 2014 and 2016.
Analysis of the technological operation and performance of the collections are observed and
evaluated by measuring a ra
nge of waste collection system indicators. Efficiency levels,
especially when it comes to separate collections of both types of municipal solid waste, are
compared to their relative representation in the remaining bulk of municipal solid waste. The
changes
in representation of these types of waste against those in the rest of the municipal solid
waste shows which collection systems are more successful from the perspective of the
implementation of the directive which covers landfill usage. The results also d
escribe why
systems could be more successful within the view of well
-
chosen or inappropriately
-
selected
technological parameters for materials separation. The possibly statistically significant impact of
paper waste production in terms of the relative amou
nt of paper waste across the rest of the
municipal solid waste has also been shown.
