The article presents a comparative analysis of waste treatment and utilization methods, as well as the ratio of waste treatment methods in different countries. The components of the technological complex are defined: quarry, metallurgical plant, sorting plant, transportation system and landfill. Their mutual location is determined, environmental requirements excluding water, air and soil pollution are developed. The scheme of interaction of elements showing the connection between industrial and mining enterprises is developed. The choice of optimal waste processing technology is substantiated.
