Summary The article discusses the transformation of the municipal waste management sector in Poland, taking place during 2011- 2013, upon the case study of the Świętokrzyskie Region. The pivotal assumptions of the new model of municipal waste management in Poland are: the change of the owner of municipal waste that became communities, the improvement of the municipal waste collection, transportation and processing, and finally regionalization that means the division of the territory of Poland into municipal waste management regions. The research conducted among local authorities of the Świętokrzyskie Region has revealed that the system solutions applied in the field of municipal waste management, being currently implemented in Poland, though they are not free from socio-economic threats, lead to the fulfilment of the waste hierarchy, including the increasing levels of recycling and the reduction of bio-waste disposal.

Waste Treatment Plant

This article presents the technological processes associated with waste management on the example of the Municipal Waste Treatment Plant in Olsztyn. Legal acts regulating waste management and the maintenance of cleanliness at the municipal level are discussed. The Municipal Waste Treatment Plant in Olsztyn processes waste from 37 municipalities in the Region of Warmia and Mazury. Waste transported to the plant is separated into sorted waste and mixed waste which undergoes further processing. An innovative solution in the country of drying waste mixed in bioreactors, where aerobic biodegradation occurs, was applied in Olsztyn. As a result of the temperature in this process, the waste is dried without additional energy from the outside. Processed waste is used in the production of alternative fuel. Around 5-15% of the collected waste is not fit for processing, and it is landfilled.
