What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Maputo Municipal Council stated that it is only capable of collecting 60 percent of the waste generated daily in Mozambique's capital. Daily waste generation currently hovers around 1,366 tons, and the council noted that 40 percent of this waste remains uncollected. João Munguambe, Councilor for Infrastructure and Sanitation, said the solution cannot rely solely on the Municipal Council.

Waste management is cited as a major sanitation challenge in Maputo. To reduce the collection deficit, municipal authorities plan to reinforce resources by distributing 100 new dumpsters to neighborhoods with the highest levels of waste accumulation.
