Throughout the 1970s and 1980s many joint municipal partnerships were established in Denmark to take responsibility for the planning and handling of waste on behalf of municipalities in the partnership. RENO SYD is a typical joint municipal partnership, established to handle the municipal solid waste of five municipalities with a total of 65,000 inhabitants. The paper reviews the by-laws and organization of RENO SYD; the facility financing ownership or leasing; the collection of the various waste types; the reception at recycling cites; the refuse treatment, energy recovery, waste separation, treatment and landfill disposal; recycling; and economics, including tipping fees and taxation.
