Summary/Abstract: Municipal waste management is one of the major challenges worldwide that is closely linked with other environmental issues as well. Since the natural environment plays an important role in economic development, environmental, historical, demographic and other factors should be taken into consideration when studying the socio-economic profile of any country. Waste is a part of the economy, since a productive economic activity, along with an efficient waste management system, is fundamental prerequisite for the country's development in the long run. The article aims to analyze the challenges of municipal waste management in Georgia. We make a comparative analysis using the examples of the EU Member States, which have achieved significant success in developing effective waste management policy by implementing proper reforms and putting the theory into practice.
