Bulgaria's Ministries Council granted authorization Thursday to design and build a waste treatment facility in the "Sadinata" site, near the village of Yana, in Sofia's "Kremikovtzi" district.

The "Integrated System of Facilities for Treatment of Household Waste from Sofia's Municipality" will be built on nearly 333,000 square meters of lands belonging to the City Hall. The land plots are designated in the Municipality's general urban plan as territory for landfills and waste treatment plants.

The lands are listed as suitable for such activities due to their levels of contamination, which are defined as ranging from average to severe.

The Cabinet's decision comes on the heels of the invitation extended ten days ago by Sofia's Mayor, Boyko Borisov, to Bulgaria's Prime Minister, Sergey Stanishev, to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the waste treatment plant on July 1.
