Abstract

Municipal solid waste management is still one of the major environmental challenges at a national level,
and although with national and regional waste plans in place, the Republic of North Macedonia with its eight
regions has only one standard landfill active, and at least 54 non-standard municipal landfills and hundreds
of dump sites and old landfills. In the light of the soon expected regional establishment of an integrated and
self-sustainable waste management system in the eastern and north-eastern regions, to increase awareness by
the local population and hospitality enterprises for source separation schemes of organic waste, as largest
producers of organic waste, Goce Delcev & Hellenic Mediterranean Universities together with Municipality
of Katerini, Municipality of Yermasoyia and Municipality of Probistip launched joint project co-funded by
EU, Utilizing pay-as-you-throw Systems and Autonomous Composting Units for Biowastes Management in
Touristic Areas (BIOWASTE). This paper aims to present the environmental benefits of the project implementation and scaling up process that was developed, aiming to expand the BIOWASTE project processes in the whole Municipality of Probishtip.
