Abstract
Solid waste management requires specific rules to ensure the collection and management respecting the citizens and the environment. A brief review on how solid waste management is defined by international and national regulations is provided. The intention is to cover broader waste streams from municipal solid waste, including batteries and accumulators, end-of-life vehicles, packaging waste, waste from electric and electronic equipment, waste oils, biodegradable municipal waste, and waste tires.
