because it did not meet the regulations according to
environmental balance level II.
Hazardous waste from economic units is stored in the
Remetea waste landfill, in two waterproof polyethylene
membrane excavations, with a volume of 400 m 3 . This
landfill had to be closed in 2003.
In Sibiu, there are two sanitation companies, which
have individual contracts with citizens in two different
zones of the city. S.C. GETESIB S.A. serves
approximately 58,698 inhabitants, and S.C.
SCHUSTER &CO ECOLOGIC S.R.L. 69,200
inhabitants.
The new landfill in Cristian meets the ecological
requirements: the mounting of geo-synthetic
membranes and the draining and lixivium collecting
works. Three points for selective collection have been
built, which will enable the recycling of waste.
Strong points

Interest in recycling of waste.
The existence of more sanitation companies led to
competition.
Active NGOs for the popularisation of selective waste
collection.
Weak points
Uncontrollable landfills.
The city does not have a hazardous waste deposit.
The selective waste collection is not organized.
There is no permanent education programme for selective
waste collection.

The consequences of the competition specific to
market economy inevitably led to the necessity for
structural changes in the development and working of
economic units.
In Sibiu, the increased number of companies with
private capital to 99%, detrimental to those with state
capital, led to important mutations, making the
commercial activity more dynamic and increasing the
quality of goods and services.
At the beginning of 2003, the number of active
economic units was 7,559. From these, 18% are
industrial, 42% commercial, hotels and restaurants,
2% agriculture and forestry, 6% transportation, 6.5%
construction and 25.5% services.
The small and medium enterprises sector has a
specific importance for the creation of new jobs,
especially during the process of reducing the
dimensions of large companies and releasing the
surplus of employees. This sector represents a very
prolific field, where the owners of new small
businesses learn through experimentation. Some of
these owners transformed their small enterprises into
medium international businesses.
It is remarkable that SME products and services
contributed to the recovery of local economies, thus
leading to the future strengthening of the middle class.
In Sibiu there are
6,550 SMEs, classified according to the criteria of Law
no. 133/1999 as follows:
