Back NETWORK OF RELOADING STATIONS Hazardous waste


To reduce transportation costs and allow earlier sorting and processing of waste, there should be established a network of reloading stations as independent objects of infrastructure. They would also handle storage of hazardous household waste, including household devices. The establishment of this network of reloading stations must be co-ordinated with the relevant local governments. Co-financing, which involves the resources of local governments, too, could be the way to go in financing the network.

The Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia:
affirm the elaboration and implementation of the republican scheme for transportation of hazardous waste,
affirm main hazardous waste projects for the collection, treatment, deposition of waste,
affirm location of hazardous waste collection stations, storage sites, recycling and utilisation companies, disposal landfills of national importance.
Local governments:
elaborate and ratify scheme for the collection and transportation of hazardous waste according to the republican scheme,
ratify location of hazardous waste collection and utilisation companies and landfills of local importance.

The network of reloading stations might also be linked to the new national programme "500 -" for the management of household waste. If needed, specialised reloading stations can be set up at specific objects - e.g., to collect bilge water and other waste from ships in port and to engage in the initial treatment of those substances.
