The principles of a new tariff policy for the waste management system in Kaliningrad Oblast

Abstract

The organization of the new waste management system in Kaliningrad Oblast calls for
revision of the current tariff setting approach in regional waste management
Firstly, tariff policy reforms are needed in connection with redistribution of functions between
the actors within the waste management sector. A decision for separation of waste collection
and waste disposal functions has been adopted at the regional level, with the waste collection
functions to be retained by municipalities, and the waste disposal functions. According to the
adopted regional waste management concept, an organization is responsible for waste
transportation and disposal at the regional level.
