Organizational and Economic Regulation of Regional Operators’ Work Dealing with Solid Municipal Waste Treatment: Problems and Their Solution

The article studies key normative legal acts and laws that regulate the field of treating solid municipal waste (SMW) and functioning of regional operators on SMW treatment. It analyzes organization and economic problems of regional operators’ functioning. Key problems include the inability of regional committees on tariffs and prices to regulate regional operators due to the absence of the unified approach to such regulation; the complexity of identifying economically grounded expenses of regional operator; restrictions in methodological directions in articles of costs of container-bunker fleet; availability of big payable debt due to incomplete collection of pay for SMW treatment and so on. Special attention is paid to the problem connected with taking records of secondary resources and secondary raw materials from SMW. To solve this problem it was proposed to set up and develop the exchange of secondary resources, which could extend a set of organization and economic functions of regional operators dealing with SMW treatment and build new economic ties with enterprises within the frames of closed cycle economy.
