Regional Waste Management Program

“Duna-Vértes Köze” Regional Waste Management Program

The project “Duna-Vértes-Köze Regional Waste Management Programme” prepared and implemented with EEOP funding enabled establishment of a modern waste management system in compliance with EU directives for the 79 member municipalities of the the Duna-Vértes-köze Regional Waste Management Association. Project preparation was completed by 2011 while implementation took place in 2013-2015.

In order to facilitate selective collection, the municipalities, provided it was economically feasible, introduced kerbside collection of plastic, metal and paper waste while in other municipalities the network of waste collection islands was expanded, and five new waste collection depots were opened. A sorting plant for the separately collected waste with a capacity of 20,000 tonnes per year was installed in the Tatabánya, Dubnik valley waste management centre. A transloading station with a capacity of 22,000 tonnes per year was established in Szentendre to make collection from far away communities cost-effective. At the same location a mechanical pre-treatment facility with a capacity of 70,000 tonnes per year was deployed to separate the recyclable components from the mixed waste which allows the capture of RDF for incineration in cement works. The non-used residues after the mechanical pre-treatment can be transported to the newly built Dubnik valley landfill with a capacity of 700,000 m3. The project also included the construction of the convenience and other service facilities of the centre. The necessary equipment for the operation of the facilities, the selective waste collection and transport vehicles and the vessels for separate collection were also purchased.

As the lead member of the consortium, TRENECON Kft. contributed to the preparation of the project having a total cost budget of more than HUF 10 billion (permit designs, detailed feasibility study and cost-benefit analysis, obtaining permits, compiling funding application) and was responsible for the full range of project management activities during implementation, and also participated in the development of the operational concept and the relevant procurement dossier.
