Fact Sheet: Strengthening Routing and Collection for Improved Waste Management

It highlights the importance of reliable waste collection in solid waste management systems, particularly in low-income countries where waste generation rates are expected to double over the next 20 years. The program aims to support local governments in developing and implementing effective waste collection and routing systems to prevent waste from entering the ocean. The fact sheet also includes a case study from Pisco, Peru, where the program helped optimize waste collection routes, expanding coverage to 19% more of the population and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
