Waste management plays an important role in the housing management process. In order to ensure efficient and environmental friendly waste management in Latvia, the National Waste Management Plan 2013-2020 aims to prevent waste generation, ensure a significant reduction of the total amount of waste generated, promote the development of a more sustainable consumer behaviour model, ensure rational use of waste as a resource, and ensure that the generated waste is not hazardous or presents a low risk to the environment and human health. Household waste is generated during the daily activities, the construction process, and also in other ways. In recent years, when the European Union funds for the renovation of buildings become available, construction process waste management has become topical. Certain products / substances (e.g. fire retardants, heavy metals) are used in the construction industry which, during operation, may result in emissions that are harmful to human health and / or the environment. In addition, construction or renovation also results in material residues, which disposal needs to be considered by the parties involved in the process. Effective waste management ensures removal, recycling or utilization of municipal, construction, industrial, bulky, biological, hazardous waste. Interruption or irregularity in the waste management process can have adverse health, environmental, aesthetic and financial consequences. This means that it is important for housing managers, in cooperation with waste disposal operators, to cooperate in organizing the waste management process, environmentally sound waste treatment, waste sorting and public education on waste sorting and environmental compliance.
