Abstract
Aim. We assess the readiness of the population to the separate collection of waste. Methodology. A socio-ecological survey is conducted by the method of sociological research and the method of collection of primary information through a questionnaire of respondents. Use is also made of the methods of statistical analysis of sociological data. The readiness of the population to introduce separate collection of waste is assessed.
Results. The analysis of the performed survey of respondents reveals strengths and weaknesses in the management system for solid municipal waste in Russia, Moldova and Kyrgyzstan. The factors that positively and negatively affect the readiness of the population for separate collection of garbage are identified. The results of the socio-environmental survey in general indicate the readiness of the population to introduce selective waste collection.
Research implications. The results can be used in the development of regional and municipal waste management programs, including with solid municipal waste. Recommendations are out-lined for the implementation of separate waste collection.
