Competition and private sector development
Through the proposed
project, waste services will be reorganised at a scale which will enable
competition and private sector involvement; a concession will be tendered for
private landfill management on a long-term contract, and a small number of
waste collection concessions will be tendered to enable a move from
predominantly public sector collection to private collection across the
region.
Technology transfer
The proposed project will enable dramatic
improvements in technology, including modern leachate (water containing
contaminants which leaks from a disposal site such as a landfill or dump)
collection and treatment, transfer stations, weighing stations; “green points”
for recycling and composting; and modern waste collection vehicles. Besides
physical technology, the Project aims to develop a culture of recycling
through public promotion campaigns and incentives.
Market expansion
Through a regional approach, and a Partnership
Agreement between the County and the municipalities of the region, the Project
will enable financing for waste management at the level of small and medium
municipalities and rural areas as well as the larger municipalities such as
Pitesti. The Project will therefore enable these smaller municipalities to be
integrated into the broader waste management sector.
Framework for markets
The proposed project will build capacity
at the County level for tendering and awarding private sector waste
concessions, and for monitoring and regulating the concessionaires and the
sector in general. Through the Project, tariffs will also be increased to
cost recovery levels.
