2. Integrating a waste collection system with digital tracking of measurements, including weighing bags and containers before the transfer, a micro-analytical mechanism can be created to accurately report the amount of waste that has been exported and disposed of [67; 68].

3. The proposal is to integrate the deposit system with metering by installing scales on garbage trucks for accurate assessment, reducing the cost of implementing this change [69]. The integration should be done in LFTA and provide a link to the proposed economic (fiscal) incentives (Articles 62-67) to ensure a smooth process.

In conclusion, the topic of institutional changes in waste management is essential for the following reasons: first, the proper implementation of the institutional changes can lead to more efficient and innovative waste management, with increased recycling and resource-saving activities; second, this impact can affect not only the economy as a whole but also the social and environmental sustainability of society, creating a cleaner and healthier environment and reducing the burden of landfills. Exploring and implementing institutional changes in this area can have long-term positive consequences for society and the environment. As a result of the importance of the agricultural sector for Bulgaria highlighted in the study, the authors aim to investigate and detail the waste generated from this sector in a future study.

Research limitations: the paper cannot fully cover all aspects of the institutional change needed to improve municipal waste management. The study lacks research on alternative institutions that can improve bottom-up processes and facilitate the adaptation of subjects. There is no analysis of the impact of technological solutions in municipal waste management on economic growth. There is also a lack of analysis of the dualistic relationship between economic growth and environmental transition and the opportunities for institutional change that can lead to positive ecological outcomes from resource co-use. These issues are relevant and could be the subject of further research by the authors.
