The Treatment of Cemetery Waste
Abstract
The legal regulation concerning the treatment of waste from cemeteries is very limited, both in the regulations regarding the management of cemeteries and in those relating to waste management, but it raises many different doubts. In practice, such waste poses major problems due to its diversity and contamination, including a significant amount that increases rapidly in early November. The legal status of such waste is also questionable. The study assumes that most of the waste from cemeteries should be considered municipal waste, and its treatment is regulated in particular by special provisions contained in the 1996 Act on maintaining cleanliness in municipalities. In this context, the regulations regarding the collection of such waste, in particular selective collection, removal from the cemetery and subsequent management, as well as the related obligations of the entities managing cemeteries, municipalities and entities collecting waste, were analysed. Certain gaps and ambiguities in the applicable legal regulations were identified and proposals for appropriate amendments to the regulations were formulated.
