GARBAGE

Just as water and sewage services, garbage collection in the country increased in 2010 compared to 2000-from 79% to 87.4%.

Since the disposal of garbage in a vacant lot, which was adopted in 2000 by 20.8% of residents of rural households fell to 9.1%. Despite the growth, the difficulty and high cost of garbage collection in the field make it an it burns the most widely adopted by residents of these areas.
