USR has asked the Bucharest City Hall to adopt a coherent waste management plan. According to USR representatives, the some of the landfills are almost full and the municipality local authorities haven’t come up with solutions to increase recycling, to develop waste sorting capacities and plan future landfills. Instead, the municipality has been talking about incinerating the waste.
