Yerevan authorities plan cooperation with private sector to resolve  garbage problem 

ArmInfo. The authorities of the capital of Armenia want to solve the garbage problem together with the private sector. This was stated on March 18 at a meeting of  the Yerevan Council of Elders by the adviser to the capital's mayor,  Anneta Babayan.

According to her, work is being carried out, in particular, towards  the construction of a waste processing station. The process is taking  into account the need to form a single ecosystem. At present, as  Babayan noted, an investment program is being prepared, for the  implementation of which negotiations are being conducted in parallel  with international donor structures. It is also necessary to start a  dialogue with the RA government so that the program is approved and  can be implemented.

The main goal of the program is to obtain a sanitary waste landfill,  which will be different from the current one. It is planned that as a  result of the work of the new waste station, electricity will also be  produced. In order to implement the project, 12 proposals have been  received from the private sector, of which only 7 fully meet all the  requirements. It is envisaged that a two-stage tender for the  selection of a contractor will be announced in the near future.

Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan reported that 14 new garbage collection  vehicles were purchased based on the results of last year alone.
