Waste and Wastewater Management 
Solid and liquid waste can exhibit certain characteristics according to its chemical, physical 
and biological features. Different types of waste require different management and disposal 
techniques according to the potential risk that the material poses to human health or the 
environment. In order to categorise the different risks to these receptors, it is often useful to 
demarcate the streams into different categories that effectively equate to the level of the 
management and disposal which are required for each. 
Industrial or domestic wastewater streams have the potential to contribute to a number of 
environmental problems if not properly handled, stored and/or managed, such as direct 
contamination to water bodies potentially leading to severe environmental and public health 
issues downstream. 
6.5.1 
Solid Waste 
The State Unitary Enterprise “Toza hudud – translated to Clean Area” under the State 
Committee is responsible for supervising cleaning and waste collection in public places and 
responsible for the collection of household waste. In 2018, Toza Hudud collected wastes from 
approximately 53% of the country’s population. This was achieved through the purchase of 
210 new garbage trucks in 2018, with an additional 510 vehicles planned for 2019-2021.Toza 
Hudud is also implementing new waste collection and disposal systems. In 2021, the collection 
of waste by Toza Hudud is estimated to reach 83%. 
The Project area and neighbouring communities do not have any waste collection and 
disposal facilities and household waste is buried in the desert. The nearest landfill is located in 
Gijduvon district over 150km from the Bash site and it is operated by Toza Hudud.

Wastewater 
In Uzbekistan wastewater and sewerage systems are only accessible to 38% of the urban 
population and less than 5% of the rural population. Wastewater is collected from enterprises 
and households and fed to the Bukhara city wastewater treatment plant (WWTP which is the 
centralised wastewater collection system in the region. 
Of Uzbe
kistan’s 119 cities, only 79 have communal sewerage services (66.4%). The total 
capacity of sewage treatment plants is 4,133,600 m
3
/day. The sewer system in Bukhara region 
is a split system with a total length of 189.1 km. There are 16 sewage pumping stations (SPS) all 
of which are controlled manually. These sewage pumping stations were built in 1960 and are 
still in operation. However, these pumping stations have high energy consumption and are not 
efficient due to the old technology. Two of these pumping stations are considered major SPS

.
The State Unitary Enterprises (provincial Suvokavas) were established in each province of the 
country with the responsibility to develop and implement water supply and sanitation 
improvements in their respective jurisdictions. In conjunction with this, previously independent 
district water and sanitation enterprises (Suvokavas, (also called vodokanals), have also been 
restructured and have been absorbed as district branches into their respective provincial 
Suvokavas.
About 150,000 residents of Bukhara are not connected to the sewerage system as they use pit 
latrines and septic tanks. Human waste is often collected and disposed by sewage trucks at 
the request of residents and transported to farms where they are used as fertilizer.
Based on a survey conducted in 2019 with 300 households residing in two towns and nine 
districts of Bukhara Province, only 7% of respondents had access to a centralized sewerage 
system. 50% of respondents reported that they discharge wastewater into a special drainage 
pit in the inner garden of their homes. 30.3% reported they dispose wastewater in their yard 
garden, while 8.3% reported that they use drainage pits in the public yard of apartment 
buildings. 
There is no existing sewage treatment plant in Peshku district. However, it is understood that 
the Bukhara Region Water Supply and Sewerage Project (BRWSSP) plans to develop a 
treatment plant of 1500m
