10 Better but not good enough Current situation in Cluj 10

11 Lessons learnt Accurate starting data are essential! Introduce separate waste collection reuse and recycle before designing landfill or incinerators Offer a proper solution before closing a landfill or an old incinerator Plans and strategies are needed BUT they need to be updated and even modified Lessons learnt Monitoring and post monitoring (for landfills) need to be very clear stipulated into the environmental authorization. Do not forget the incinerator ash (without an analyze you can not be sure it is not hazardous) Do not forget the rural areas, especially the far away ones and/or being heavily road accessed It is better to introduce the money charge for waste collecting and processing into the general tax for being an inhabitant of one community. 11
