Yerevan needs waste processing plant - mayor 

ArmInfo. A waste processing plant needs to be built in Yerevan. This was stated by the Mayor of the capital of Armenia Tigran Avinyan at a working meeting in the capital's municipality on December 23.

According to him, it is important to implement the project in several  stages. At the first stage, it is necessary to receive technical  specifications for two competitive proposals, for which, within the  framework of a public-private partnership, a project package for the  construction of the plant will be received. This package will have to  include the complete conservation of the garbage dump in Nubarashen.   "And here the deadlines are very important, since we are tied to  election promises and must fulfill these promises," said Tigran  Avinyan, adding that at the second stage it will already be necessary  to have a work schedule in hand, since the topic has been on the  agenda for 10 years and has not received its resolution.  According  to the mayor, the problem must finally be solved. The Yerevan City  Hall, together with the government and international structures, is  ready to invest the necessary funds in it.

Earlier, Tigran Avinyan stated that the city authorities plan to  resolve the issue of closing the Nubarashen landfill, the largest  dump in Armenia, within three to four years. At this stage, the issue  of installing underground containers is also being discussed.
