The analysis of Russian and foreign scientific studies aimed at solving problem of safe municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal proves that little attention is paid to the preliminary risk assessment in the territories in respect to MSW disposal. The article discusses the methodical principles of assessing the integral natural-technogenic hazard and risk for the territories of administrative divisions in the Central Federal region of Russia produced by legal and illegal landfills located there. For the purpose of this study, the chosen risk-forming factors include both natural, technogenic, and social components, i.e. geological structure of the soil and rock massif, natural (hydrometeorological) hazards, the number of landfills in the given administrative district, and the population density. The comparative qualitative characteristics of geological risk as the value of the probable economic and social damage caused by the disastrous impact of MSW on the geoenvironment is calculated is scores for each of 17 administrative districts of the Central Federal region. This preliminary overview assessment is intended for federal authorities planning investments in solving MSW problem in Russia.

Key words:  municipal solid waste disposal, msw landfills, assessment of natural-technogenic hazard, geological risk, geological structure of massif, natural hazards, central federal region of russia
