SUMMARY OF THE BOOK: Waste management in Albania has become an important issue after the collapse of communist regime in 1991. Since then, there has been movement of the population toward the cities. Due to the rapid growth of the population in these areas, this growth has brought the need for developing Waste Management (WM). Another driver for the development of WM is European Union (EU) integration, in this context, Albania has to adopt the EU legislation in order to be part of the EU. WM has become part of the political agenda of the last two governments and there is realistic support for the development of this issue. But there are many challenges regarding development; one is the unsuccessful implementation of the Law, as well as public awareness is very poor and requires promotional campaigns for WM. There is also a difference between municipalities regarding the development of WM; some of them have handed over WM to the private sector, such as Lezha where one can see a very good example that has taken many steps forward; and, Cërrik, where WM is done by the LG, that has made only few steps toward WM development. The progress in WM has come as result of shifting toward the private sector.
