This thesis is enriched by a case study of the development of waste separation and recycling in the town of Brandýs nad Labem, where the data obtained is compared with the whole Czech Republic. The aim of this work is to analyse the development of the waste separation and recycling process in the Czech Republic in 2007- 2020 and to evaluate individual applied economic – policy decisions in this area. Research is focused on the hypothesis: „The development of waste separation and subsequent recycling has improved each year.“ The theoretical part presents basic terms and general information about waste, environmental economics, with which Cost-benefit analysis is connected to. The linear and circular economy, which are closely linked to waste development, are also explained. Then it also describes the theoretical bases of market structures and the legislative framework of waste management in the Czech Republic. The practical part analyses data related to the waste separation and recycling in the Czech Republic, which is then compared with the data of Brandýs nad Labem. The data were obtained from the Eurostat public database, the Czech Statistical Office, from authorized company EKO-KOM Plc. and from publications provided by the city of Brandýs nad Labem. As consequence of waste separation and subsequent recycling data analysis the hypothesis was disproved.
