Cemetery waste management in Poland. A case study for Wrocław city

The annual amount of cemetery waste in Wrocław does not exceed 1% of generated municipal waste. The largest amount of cemetery waste is generated in autumn months. For the Osobowicki cemetery, the total volume of containers for selective waste collection has doubled since 2013 and now constitutes 49...
