Abstract This Methodology, based on the provisions of the national Law on waste management, prescribes the criteria for calculating the price for waste treatment which consists of waste collection, transportation and disposal. The waste treatment price covers all services and activities for waste management, as follows: 1. Primary waste selection; 2. Temporary storage (in transfer stations); 3. Waste collection; 4. Waste transportation; 5. Prevention and avoidance of waste; 6. Preparation for reuse and recycling; 7. Other processing operations; 8. Waste disposal including post-operation care or landfill; 9. Illegal landfill cleaning operations. Costs for collection and transportation of waste include capital costs and operating costs for performing related services. Capital costs are: 1. costs for a waste disposal site; 2. costs for procurement of machines, equipment and plants (special utility vehicles, trailers, dump trucks, construction machinery and other equipment and bins for waste collection). Operational costs are costs of day-to-day operation and maintenance of the system for waste management and they are divided into: 1. fixed costs; 2. variable costs.
