[OD34] Municipal waste disposal (landfiling)
Key message
In Slovenia, slightly more than 106,000 tonnes of municipal waste were landfilled at 10 non-hazardous waste landfills in 2023, compared to slightly more than 90,000 tonnes the year before. The increase in landfilled municipal waste in 2023 was the result of the extensive floods that hit Slovenia during the summer of that year.
The share of landfilled municipal waste at the EU level in 2023 was 22% of generated municipal waste. The countries in which more than half of generated municipal waste was landfilled include Greece, Romania, Malta, Cyprus, Portugal, Hungary, and Bulgaria.
