Industrial waste
Industrial waste (approx. 5,000 tons/year) is deposited
at the slag landfill situated close to the industrial area.
It belongs to S.C. ARIO S.A. Bistrita.
The slag landfill has the following characteristics: a
design capacity of 400,000m 3 , occupied capacity
(31.12.2003) of 200,000m 3 , surface of 4ha, and
occupied surface (31.12.2003) of 2.4ha. The following
types of waste are deposited here every year: used
sand and slag, waste from casting activity.
Waste recycling
Government Ordinance no. 16/ 2001 regarding the
management of recyclable industrial waste, approved
by Law no. 465/2001, regulates the activity of
recyclable industrial waste groups.
Given the lack of a selective collecting system for
recyclable waste, a part of these materials (paper,
cardboard, iron, car batteries) are directly recovered

from the waste producers or indirectly through the
private firms and specialised units. These units run
pre-collection points, where the population and the
firms can deposit recyclable waste in exchange for
money.
There is also a paper recovering programme run in
schools and every school in Bistrita municipality has a
1.1 m 3 container for paper collection, later capitalised
through the specialised units.
In 2000 only S.C. REMAT S.A. was collecting
industrial recyclable waste from individual and legal
persons (metallic ferrous waste, paper rand cardboard
waste, plastic waste). As of 2001, another firm, S.C
REDIVIVUS SRL, has received authorisation from the
mayoralty to collect industrial waste: metallic ferrous
waste, paper rand cardboard waste, metallic nonferrous
waste, textile waste, plastic waste, glass
waste.
