The waste management situation in Ploiești remains unresolved, with ongoing disputes between the city administration and waste operators. Mayor Mihai Polițeanu previously claimed to have eliminated the 'waste mafia,' but the former operator, Rosal, continues to operate under a different name. The city is still officially a member of the intercommunity association managing waste, despite claims of withdrawal. Legal battles over contracts and financial obligations persist, with Ploiești allegedly owing 900,000 lei in dues. Meanwhile, a new company, ROECO, is attempting to obtain environmental authorization to collect waste, further complicating the situation.
