摘要：Among the most urgent topics within waste management policy is the gradual transition of the economy from a linear model towards a circular economy with a more sustainable way of using resources. The European Union has responded to these changes by passing new legislation and ambitious targets so that all member states can work towards achieving a greener and sustainable Europe shortly. However, the starting position for achieving the desired goals differs significantly from one country to another. In this paper, we, therefore, looked at the position of Slovakia in relation to selected waste management indicators, as well as the measures taken so far. Moreover, since waste management falls under one of the many public benefit services provided by local governments as their competencies, we also monitored the specific contribution of Slovak cities to the newly established trend of waste management in the country.
