Summary/Abstract: The decentralization of public administration in Slovakia after the year 2002 meant a significant broadening of competencies and responsibilities of municipalities for the development of theirs territories. The act no. 416/2001 Z. z. about the transition of some competencies from the organs of state administration to the municipalities and selfgoverning regions also transferred some competencies in the case of waste management. The waste management in each municipality has to be in accordance with the Act on waste, with the Program of waste management and also the General municipal ordinance. The implementation of these wider competencies can be successfully executed only by the appropriate approaches in municipality management. The financial cost of collection, logistics, processing and expedition of communal waste is very high. One of the possibilities how to decrease this cost is the waste separation which is subsidized by the Recycling fund.
