With the introduction of the polluter pays principle, there will be changes in the waste collection fee for Sofia residents, Mayor Vasil Terziev said for bTV.
''Some people will pay more, others will pay less. If you generate a lot of waste, you will pay more", Vasil Terziev went on to say.
Vasil Terziev also said that for now Sofia is not facing a waste crisis and there are at least two more years to solve the problem. ‘’What we found was that 90% of the waste that was taken to the waste-treatment plant was landfilled, i.e. almost nothing was recycled, it was not burned as RDF fuel", Vasil Terziev explained. In his words, the goal is to bring this percentage below 10% by the end of the year, with recycling reaching 8-9% compared to the current 1.5%.
Another important step is to make the refuse-derived fuel (RDF) system work. "The plant and the adjacent cells are designed to be filled in 21 years. Unless solid waste is incinerated, the full capacity will be exhausted in nine years. Seven years have passed, there are two years left", Vasil Terziev added.
