The article is devoted to the study of the state of regulatory support in the field of waste management in Ukraine and the search for proposals to improve national legislation, which is an indicator of national security at both environmental and economic levels. Also, the scientific article provides a detailed analysis of legislation in the field of waste disposal in Ukraine and examines the impact of legal doctrine on the development of national legislation in this area. As for the improvement of regulatory support in this area, in the process of research we provide examples of already effective international standards, which as a result of their implementation in Ukraine have the opportunity to improve the situation in the field of waste management and disposal. Conducting research on the state policy of Ukraine in the field of waste management, it is determined that it is based on the principles of openness, accountability, transparency of public authorities; public participation in the formation of public policy; observance of ecological rights of citizens; encouragement to conduct environmentally responsible business and environmentally conscious behavior of citizens; prevention of environmental damage; international cooperation and European integration. It should be noted that the situation with waste disposal is uncontrolled, to confirm this there is a large number of illegal landfills, which is a threat of environmental catastrophe. The reason for this situation, in our opinion, is outdated, partially ineffective legislation and problems of implementation of European standards, which aim to regulate the legal basis in the field of waste management in Ukraine. Accordingly, the establishment of clear rules and the introduction of influential sanctions in case of their violation is a component of the ecological balance and economic development of the country.
