This note states that Latin
America's urban population has grown, and its solid
waste has increased at an even faster pace. Today the
region's urban areas generate about 369,000 tons a day
of solid waste. Ensuring that the waste is collected and
disposed of properly will require strengthening the
strategic role of municipalities. The private sector already
plays a big part in waste collection. But private providers
could do more in waste disposal and management, helping to
improve service in close coordination with local
authorities. Given the methane gas currently released from
landfills, carbon finance is another potential driver of
management improvements. |
