Abstract: The European Landfill Directive (ELD) 99/31/EC has become the most influential piece of waste management legislation to have been produced for some time and calls for reduction of the amount of biodegradable municipal solid waste disposed of to landfill. Moreover, national solid waste strategies need to be changed to achieve increased waste recycling and recovery rates will have to be modified ultimately to meet the targets set in the ELD. This paper outlines the waste management strategy implemented in the Specially Protected Areas (SPAs) in Turkey and gives the key requirements of ELD. On the other hand, it also outlines the adaptation of the Turkish Solid Waste Legislation (TSWL) to ELD and gives comments on the improvement of the TSWL.
