Waste disposal sites significantly contribute to the degradation of primary environmental elements. In the Republic of Serbia, these waste disposal sites have been generated due to improper management of materials that are recyclable to varying degrees. Municipal waste disposal has led to issues such as contamination of surface and groundwater flows and a decline in the quality of agricultural crops. Current environmental management systems lack high levels of efficiency; preventive protection measures are not fully implemented, and corrective actions are frequently hindered by a lack of financial resources. Problem resolution is often limited to the application of “carpet-like” grass covers over degraded landscapes. The aim of this paper is to propose a model for overcoming these ecological issues. The proposal is based on a phased implementation, transitioning from simpler to more complex methods. Challenges associated with the direct application of modern reclamation methods include a shortage of professional personnel, financial constraints, and a lack of institutional readiness among the management of mining and energy complexes. The proposed environmental management system model for municipal solid waste landfills is based on Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and Critical Path Method (CPM) guidelines. By offering clear, efficient, innovative, and progressive strategic perspectives, this model establishes a robust foundation for multi-criteria decision-making and a multidisciplinary approach.
