Legislative Aspects of the Problem of Handling Dead Leaves in Urban Development of Donetsk
Abstract: This article is devoted to the review and analysis of legislation in the field of waste management of hazard class IV – dead foliage in order to determine the legally determined way (method) of disposal of leaf litter. It is shown that in modern urban planning, green spaces perform a significant sanitary and ecological function, but they also carry certain housing and communal and environmental problems. The main functions of green spaces have been determined, the most important of which are: optimization of temperature and humidity conditions, air ionization, bactericidal action of some plant species, dust-collecting ability, gas resistance and gas trapping, improve the aesthetic perception of the urban environment [9]. The negative factors associated with the formation of leaf litter, the consequences of some unauthorized methods of handling dead foliage are shown. A review of the existing legislation in the field of handling fallen leaves was carried out. The composting method approved by law does not solve the problem of pollutants in rotted foliage. An ecologically safe, biological, low-cost method of processing leaf litter by the method of vermicultivation is proposed in order to solve the communal problem of disposal of waste of IV class hazard.
Keywords: fallow leaves, green spaces, pollutants, composting, leaf litter, vermicomposting, legislative acts, regulations.
