An integrated waste management is carried out with the newly established facilities by the
municipalities. In other words, all wastes collected separately from various sources by the mu-

wastes to recycling, processing biodegradable wastes in waste processing facilities and storing
the wastes that cannot be utilised in any way in an orderly manner, instead of being discharged
