Indicator 11.6.1 - Proportion of municipal solid waste collected and managed in controlled facilities out of total municipal waste generated, by cities - Indicators For The Sustainable Development Goals

This table provides metadata for the actual indicator available from Moldova statistics closest to the corresponding global SDG indicator. Please note that even when the global SDG indicator is fully available from Moldovan statistics, this table should be consulted for information on national methodology and other Moldovan-specific metadata information.

Indicator	Indicator 11.6.1: Proportion of municipal solid waste regularly collected and with adequate final discharge out of total municipal solid waste generated
Definition and concepts	Municipal waste - household waste and similar waste from commercial, industrial and administrative activities, mentioned in item 20 of the List of wastes, approved by the Government (Law on waste no. 209/2016, GD no. 99/2018, for the approval of the Waste List). The degree of compliance of the landfill can be assessed using qualitative criteria that include: 1) the degree of control of waste reception and general management of the landfill site; 2) the degree of control of the waste over the treatment and disposal and 3) the degree of monitoring and verification of the control over the environment. A score of at least 10 of each criterion is the threshold required to be considered “appropriate final treatment and elimination”.
Unit of measure	Percent, %
Data sources	SIA “Waste Management”
Data providers	Environment Agency
Institutional mandate	Ministry of Environment
Method of computation	Quantity of municipal waste regularly collected with adequate treatment and final disposal in relation to the total quantity of municipal waste generated * 100
Comparability/deviation from international standards	1. To calculate the global indicator, denominator - total generated municipal waste is calculated from the sum of municipal waste regularly collected and the quantity of uncollected waste (which is not estimated/calculated in Moldova) 2. The control level according to the global methodology cannot be assessed, as well as to what extent the treatment and final storage of waste is "adequate".
