Some official garbage collection sites in Maputo are turning into real dumps, according to residents, who blame irregular collections for the situation.
Trash overflowing from containers and littering the ground is a common sight at the city’s garbage collection points. Maputo residents admit that they throw garbage on the ground, but also point out the municipality’s poor solid waste collection capacity.
The owner of one commercial establishment found herself neighbour to a garbage dump, which has nearly ruined her business. The garbage used to be deposited in a private plot, forcing the owner to fence it.
Local residents also complain that waste pickups themselves spread waste. In Zimpeto, a container was recently emptied, but litter was left lying on the ground.
