The article is aimed at developing an alternative structure of relationships between participants of the solid household waste management chain (SHWM) by analyzing the existing economic interests and relations of participants from the European countries who have achieved the greatest success in this sphere. The methods and instruments for satisfying the economic interest of each participant of the solid waste management chain in these countries are identified, which leads to the existing structure of relationships. As a result of the study, an alternative scheme of relationships between the participants in the SHWM together with the formula for calculating profits/savings for both producers and processors of waste are proposed. A way to achieve advanced results without infusing significant funds of both budget and citizens is proposed for Ukraine and the countries of Eastern Europe. Using the proposed scheme, each participant chooses its actions for its own economic reasons, and the State is given the role of education and control. Prospects for further research in this direction are quantitative and financial analysis of the situation with SHW for each city and the identification of target indicators for each link in order to ensure the desired result, in compliance with the economic interests of all participants, with a minimum burden on the producer, processor of SHW and the State.
