The Ministry of Environment, Waters and Forests is the Programme Operator for the “Environment, Climate Change Adaptation and Ecosystems” Programme (RO-Environment), ’’Measures to reduce contamination with hazardous substances in temporary municipal waste storage spaces’’ that is funded by the European Economic Area (EEA) Financial Mechanism 2014 – 2021.
Gura Humorului City Hall signed on November 24, 2022, the financing contract no. 25243/BT/24/11/2022 for the implementation of the Project “Closing the temporary waste storage facility in the City of Gura Humorului, Suceava County”.
The total value of the project is 7,231,707.13 lei, of which 7,169,089.33 lei represents the non-refundable financial assistance and the implementation period is between November 24, 2022 and April 30, 2024.
The general objective of the project is to improve the state of the environment and reduce the adverse effects of pollution generated by the temporary landfill in the North-East region, Gura Humorului, and the target group is the population of 17,839 inhabitants of the city of Gura Humorului.
The proposed specific objectives are:
- Improving the Territorial Administrative Unit’s capacity to manage risks from chemicals and hazardous waste.
- Improving the ecological status of the habitat occupied by the temporary landfill by restoring the area.
Waste collection in the city of Gura Humorului is done in four fractions: the wet fraction, the dry fraction, bulky waste, waste generated by construction and demolition activities.
Thus, the municipal waste generated within the radius of the City of Gura Humorului is collected separately by the operator, and after sorting, the residual waste is transported for disposal by storage at the warehouse, which is in accordance with the Directive for waste storage issued by the EU, within the Integrated Management Center of Waste from Suceava county, Moara commune.
Starting from 2014, when all the non-compliant warehouses in the county were closed and the Gura Humorului temporary waste storage warehouse was opened, all the city’s residents benefited from household sanitation services, generating approximately 11,500 cubic meters of compacted municipal waste annually, until the end of July 2019, when the Moara ecological warehouse became operational.
In order to reduce pollution with electrical, electronic and household electrical waste (WEEE), the City Hall of Gura Humorului organizes, twice a year, with various partners, general campaigns for the collection of these types of waste. Throughout the year, outside the periods when these campaigns are carried out, WEEE is collected through partners, at the request of citizens.
