Waste management developments in Croatia
Overview
Waste management in Croatia is experiencing regional variations in capacity, costs, and operational procedures.
In Split, the Karepovac landfill is nearing its capacity limits, with projections suggesting it may only suffice until Easter 2027. To address this, officials are considering new collection and billing methods, such as semi-underground containers with card access, to reduce landfill pressure until the Lećevica waste management center is operational. Conversely, the Kaštijun Regional Waste Management Center in Istria has seen a significant decrease in costs for disposing of excess mixed municipal waste, with costs reported as more than ten times lower than the previous year due to lower summer pressure.
Local municipalities are also implementing specific seasonal updates. Bjelovar has scheduled collections for paper and plastic waste, while in Pag, the ban on open-air burning of plant waste is set to end, provided residents notify the fire department and follow strict safety protocols.
