The waste management is a key factor for sustainable regional and local development. It affects directly to environment ? soil, water, air and etc., which are one of pillars of quality of life and living conditions. The article presents an approach for more easy understanding of the set of statistical data that monitored environment and in particular waste management. The waste management has been analyzed at national, regional and local levels. A share of treated municipal waste of total municipal waste generated in Bulgaria, by type of treatment method, has been studied at national level for the period from 1999 to 2016 year. The waste management at regional and local level was analysed by designing of two indexes ? the Regional waste management index (RWMI) and the Municipal waste management index (MWMI). The index includes a set of the most important indicators selected based on criteria such as relevance, significant, representativeness and etc. The ranking lists by the RWMI and by the MWMI were created for 2015, 2016 and 2017 year and the changes in places of studied territorial units were identified. The results showed the adequacy of the applied methodology. The problems during process of indicators selection were described
