Glavbolgarstroy picked to complete landfill in Pernik
Glavbolgarstroy construction company was picked to finish construction of the waste landfill in Pernik after a public tender, weekly Stroitelstvo Gradut quoted Pernik mayor Rositsa Yanakieva as saying.
The project is funded under European Union operational programme Environment and will cost a total 11 million euro. The project is now 35 per cent complete, having earlier received funding under EU's Ispa pre-accession aid programme and the Bulgarian government.
Construction work was launched in 2003 but was put on hold over land ownership rights. The 140 sq m plot has been released on a 20-year concession contract. Once the project is completed, it will serve the needs for six neighbouring municipalities: Pernik, Tran, Breznik, Radomir, Kovachevtsi and Zemen.
Bulgaria was one of the three European Union member states given an extension on the deadline to close sub-standard landfill sites, the European Commission said in a media statement on July 17.
The EU-wide deadline for closing landfills that did not meet the bloc's Landfill Directive was July 16. The new deadline for 14 existing landfills, which have to be shut down once new facilities are in place, is December 31 2014, but Bulgaria will also have to meet annual decreasing targets for the amount of waste disposed of in some non-compliant sites.

Hi Karal, I saw the same article some time ago. It seemed that the Company was based in England and is working on a Yorkshire Project near Selby.

Sirs: What seems to be an issue here is the remedy for a long term solution to the management and treatment of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Bulgaria. This issue without resulotion will not go away unless the Government and its Environment organisation realise that a long term solution cogniscant with the aims of EU Legislation is put in place.
In this regards therefore following on from the fall-out comcerning the parallel issues in Sofia - earlier this year - perhaps the Government should consider taking the residues from the MSW and converting it to the biofuel ethanol. [...]
Read the full comment By doing this not only do you have a solution to the waste issues but you can provide a valued fuel for transport at the same time and it can be effected economically. I understand that a Company made a similar recommendation to your newspaper some time ago in this ''write comment'' arena and that it was left in abeyance. Perhaps you should prime the Government again over this as it would solve the issue very easily.
