The study analyzed the state of municipal solid waste management in Ukraine and found that the coverage of separate waste collection is low. There is an insufficient supply of different types of containers for separate waste collection. Less than 20% of the population is covered by separate collection and most settlements have containers for separate collection of PET bottles only. Only 31% of the population expressed their intention to participate in sorting. The reasons for the low level of sorting are not surprising, as in addition to the low level of environmental awareness among Ukrainians, municipalities, with the exception of large regional centres, have not yet created the right conditions for sorting. A sociological survey was carried out and the results analysed using Spearman's rank correlation in order to identify the most effective measures for influencing the population's environmental behaviour.
