Abstract
The relevance of the article is due to the severity of the problem of environmental pollution, the solution of which is largely associated with the development of modern technologies for the disposal of municipal solid waste. The author considers the features of the “garbage” reform in our country. He notes that this reform in the course of its implementation faces many problems, including the problem of legal regulation of the interaction of state and municipal bodies with business entities in the field of waste management. The author shows that over the past year a lot of amendments to the laws have been made, however, at the moment the implementation of the adopted standards has not brought the desired result, which can be explained by the influence of various factors, including the peculiarity of the organization of the activities of regional operators.
