What happened
Reports detail a garbage dump situated near the Provincial Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in Camagüey. The municipal utility company, Servicios Comunales, manages the overall collection process but only collects 35% of the waste. Furthermore, small private enterprises hired for waste collection only serve residents who can afford to pay.
