Sustav gospodarenja otpadom s osvrtom na Bjelovarsko-bilogorsku županiju
Waste Management System with Regard to the Bjelovar-Bilogora County

Summary/Abstract: Waste represents one of the key problems of the modern civilization; it is a result of the today way of life. By collecting bigger and bigger quantities of waste, people disturb the natural balance to a high extent; hence, one of the priorities in reducing the pollution of the environment is choosing the right approach to solving the waste problem. Inadequate waste management is the most serious ecological problem in the Republic of Croatia. The quantities of waste constantly grow, and the infrastructure responsible for waste disposal is insufficient. Neither does the waste management system function in full nor is the waste management legislation properly implemented. Both profession and science often wonder whether the amendments to the Waste Act will result in a better general state or will the problem become even more serious, as well as how smaller communities deal with this issue. The paper will present the planned waste management system in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County and an analysis of the set goals.
