Subject. This article focuses on the issues of standardization and tariff regulation in the solid municipal waste management in the Russian Federation. Objectives. The article aims to analyze the legislative framework, methods for waste accumulation standards calculating, and effective principles for setting tariffs, as well as identify key challenges and areas for improving the ongoing Waste Reform. Methods. For the study, we used the systems approach, including a current regulatory legal acts analysis and a comparative analysis of methods for determining waste accumulation standards and regulating tariffs. Results. The article reveals key issues of the current model and justifies the need to improve standardization methods and expand the process digitalization practice. Conclusions. The further solid municipal waste management system development should be aimed at balancing the interests of the State, business, and the public, increasing transparency in tariff setting, reducing the financial burden on consumers, and promoting the transition to a circular economy.
