Abstract
This document reviews the existing
information on solid waste management and city cleanliness
to understand how the country’s municipalities are
responding to this important challenge and how these
services are supporting the growing urban agglomerations in
the country. The review provides data by urban agglomeration
but also includes data at the provincial and national level.
It considers not only the service coverage and
infrastructure but the role they play in a range of issues
including the proximity of waste to people’s homes,
inequality of access to services, and the impact on
municipal budgets. Informality, both in terms of informal
employment in the waste sector and the ability of municipal
services to reach informal and precarious urban settlements,
is also considered. The review is intended as a compilation
of data for use by local and national governments,
international organizations, academics and non-governmental
organizations in their ongoing efforts to improve cities.
The data presented highlights the current service gaps and
opportunities that can be explored to avoid the costs of
congestion in order maximize Argentina’s cities’ role as an
engine for inclusive growth.
