There is an increasingly clear consciousness that the responsibility for waste management should be shared by all of the community: from the producer of a good to the consumer, from the waste producer to the waste holder, from the management operators to the administrative and regulatory authorities.

Regarding waste management costs, the growing assertion of the “polluter payer” principle has determined the priority of accountability for of consumer goods producers, waste producers or holders.

On the other hand, there is an unavoidable decrease of the environments capacity to accommodate the waste generated by society, making the need to minimize waste production and ensure its sustainable management a matter of citizenship.

The final elimination of waste, including its disposal in landfill, is the last management option, which can be justified only when prevention, reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery are technically or financially unfeasible.

This new paradigm, embodied in the legal framework recently redesigned, opens up new perspectives both in the areas of sorting and recycling of waste, and of its controlled deposition in landfills.

Decommissioned quarries and mines are, by their morphology, size and privileged location, adequate solutions to waste management operations.

In this context, the Screening and Recovery centers for Construction and Demolition Waste and Inert Waste Landfill stand out.
