The Yerevan municipality plans to implement an investment project worth from 17 to 20 million euros to build a new landfill, Edward Nersisian, head of a municipality department overseeing development and investment projects, said today.

YEREVAN, July 1. / ARKA /. The Yerevan municipality plans to implement an investment project worth from 17 to 20 million euros to build a new landfill, Edward Nersisian, head of a municipality department overseeing development and investment projects, said today.

He said the municipality is still considering which option is better - either to build waste incineration plants or facilities for sorting and processing of secondary raw materials.

But he cited experts who say the most correct option is to have a facility for "re-use of these resources."

"According to Austrian experts, 90% of garbage can be processed and recycled and only 10% can be stored," he explained.

He said also the new landfill will be built on the territory adjacent to the largest Nubarashen landfill in Yerevan on 52 hectares. The Nubarashen dump will be closed in accordance with modern environmental standards. -0-
