In low-income regions, waste collection is more common in rural areas than in urban areas. Nevertheless, collection services are less prevalent in these regions than in developed countries. Generally, waste management is dictated by local governments or decentralization policies rather than federal government. Globally, about half of the services are provided through public enterprises, whereas the private sector usually takes care of management or provides temporary contracts for collection, treatment, and disposal.
