Objective: We carried out a hygienic assessment of the state of waste management in the Rivne region in 2012-2018.
Methods: We systematized, processed and analyzedthe research materials with the help of descriptive, dynamic and comparative methods.

Results: Analysis of the data on the amount of generated waste for 2012-2018 showed that in 2013 the amount of waste generation increased and made up 1587.1 thousand tons, and then every year it got smaller, and in 2017 it was 457.7 thousand tons. In 2018 a significant increase in waste generation occurred. The level of utilization (processing) of waste is at a very low level with respect to its formation. The percentage of use was the smallest in 2013 – 8.5%, and the largest in 2017 – 23.7%.

Conclusions: In order to solve sanitary and ecological problems associated with the inefficient waste management, it is currently advisable to build garbage processing facilities. The further work is recommended to study the negative impact of waste both on the state of the environment and on the state of health of the population.
