The article is devoted to the search for an innovative approach to the elimination of combustion foci at solid municipal waste landfills. In connection with the increase in the number of solid municipal waste landfills near settlements, a number of geoecological problems are increasing. One of the most complex geoecological problems arising in connection with the operation of solid municipal waste landfills is the problem of the genesis and development of surface fires in the layer of household waste. At the same time, concern is caused not only by the actual dangerous factors of the spread of fire, but also by the subsequent significant pollution of the surface layer with air by combustion products, including those of a carcinogenic or mutagenic nature. To achieve this goal, the article describes an innovative approach to eliminating combustion foci at solid municipal waste landfills: an innovative device developed by the authors of the study - a mechanical fire hydrant for wetting burning deep layers of consumption waste with a fire-extinguishing liquid.

The paper considers approaches to standardizing the volumes of accumulation of solid municipal waste in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The analysis of normative legal acts, which determine the specific norms of solid municipal waste at the regional level, is carried out. In the work, based on the results of the conducted scientific research, general and particular factors have been identified that take into account the socio-economic characteristics of the region, which govern the regions when determining the accumulation standards. It has been proved that the differentiation of the standards for the accumulation of solid municipal waste, applied in practice, does not lead to an increase in the forecast accuracy, significantly complicating the calculations. Approaches are proposed for optimizing the system for calculating the accumulation rate, taking into account the main socio-economic conditions, which, according to the authors, will have a greater effect on the real volume of accumulation of solid household waste: the unevenness of their formation in natural and climatic zones and geographic conditions, living standards, as well as seasonal characteristics of movement and place of residence of the population at different periods of time. We believe that it is necessary to develop a unified approach to monitoring the standards for the accumulation of solid household waste, based on indicative assessments of each factor with a different degree of their influence. In the future, the proposed approach will make it possible to provide reliable and objective information and to monitor and control the volume of accumulation of solid household waste.

The ever-growing consumption of resources due to global population growth and dynamic development of industrial production led to the increase in the volume of waste generated, which in turn led to the reduction of areas suitable for disposal, and gave rise to the problem of efficient disposal and recycling of waste. In this situation, society needs to direct its development in a more environmentally safe direction and review existing production and consumption models. Solid municipal waste can become the main link in the chain of interrelated factors that need to be considered together with other global problems, such as the rational use of natural resources, since it is a rich source of secondary resources, a “free” energy carrier, due to the fact that garbage is a renewable carbon-containing raw material. However, such resource material is used in the most inefficient way — it is buried, which creates additional costs for cleaning up areas contaminated with waste. In this regard, the article proposes to test the resource approach in waste Management on a specific economic entity, namely, on the example of the Novosibirsk region. In particular, the authors consider the existing volumes of solid household waste in the region, typical problems, and opportunities to solve them using the resource approach.

Solid Municipal Waste

In the modern world, environmental issues are quite acute. Global environmental problems are also relevant for Russia today. It should be recognized that our country is one of the most polluted countries in the world, which negatively affects the quality of life and health of the population. The emergence of environmental problems is associated with the ever-growing man-made impact on the natural environment. Currently, about 55–60 million tons of solid municipal waste is generated in Russia every year, 90 % of which is sent to landfills and unauthorized landfills. The recycling rate in Russia is no more than 10 %, while in the European Union countries up to 100 % of household waste is processed. Europe has been implementing a targeted environmental policy for working with solid municipal waste for many years. Back in December 2005, the European Commission published a report on the development of a strategy for the prevention of waste generation and recycling. its goal is to reduce the negative impact on the environment associated with the disposal of household waste. Waste policies and targets established at the European Union level include minimum requirements for the management of certain types of waste. The subject of research in the article is the system of solid municipal waste management, waste management strategies. The purpose of the article is to study the current state of the waste management system in the world and in Russia, analyze the features and prospects, and develop recommendations based on foreign experience. Research methodology: comparative and comparative analyses. The article presents analytical data that characterize the current situation, analyzes the forecast values of solid municipal waste generation and disposal in different regions of the world. A detailed analysis of the situation in Russia is given, conclusions on the current situation with regard to waste are given, and recommendations are made. Based on the analysis of statistical data that characterize the state of the solid municipal waste management system in the world and in Russia, conclusions were made about the problems of its development. One of the main reasons is the lack of attention on the part of state bodies, as well as the lack of funding for the implementation of state programs and the inefficient use of allocated funds. The analysis of foreign experience in waste management allowed us to develop recommendations for the application of management strategies. This article is part of the author's research in the field of choosing optimal strategies for managing the development of a "Smart city", including strategies for managing the disposal of solid municipal waste of the housing and communal complex. the author has analyzed and collected interesting material on this topical issue, and plans to publish a monograph.

We first report three empirical findings from our survey on the contracting-out of municipal waste collection services in Japan: (1) the rate of contracting-out and the contract price are inversely related, (2) this inverse relationship tapers out as the contracting rate becomes sufficiently high, and the contract price even tends to go up as the contracting rate approaches 100% and (3) there is a significant disparity in the contracting rates between the eastern and western parts of Japan. In order to account for these observations, we then set up a simple analytical model and examine its implications. Also, we discuss the issues that a potential hold-up situation could give rise to when the services are completely contracted out to private firms.
