Solid waste management remains problematic.  Waste is managed in some municipalities on an individual basis without any government control, and waste management is stressed by a set of interrelated factors including population growth, urban expansion, insufficient infrastructure, and public management issues.  Waste collection in cities is not provided in many municipalities and the sector is not well regulated.  In urban areas not covered by the National Solid Waste Management Service (SNGRS) and municipalities, the garbage collection service is largely provided by informal collectors offering a low-cost service accessible to households, formal and informal enterprises.  There are many companies in bigger cities that specialize at municipal levels in the collection, management of waste and drainage of septic tanks.  Almost all of the waste is sent to illegal dumps (rivers, drainage canals)  without any prior treatment and without development of receiving sites.  In some areas, solid waste is burned or buried in the ground, contributing to pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases.
