communities, and presence of dumpsites;

waste recycling plants;

*         Difficulties with the enforcement of legal liabilities
(penalties);

*         Lack of information about the condition of operational municipal
landfills (Gori and Khashuri landfills);

*         Problems with the management of hazardous household waste;

*         Shortage of information about modern technologies and fund raising
opportunities;

*         Necessity to improve information flow between the local and
