The collection of MSW is provided in most cities and towns, but significant part of rural areas do not have an official collection system in place. For a number of years, official data collection was carried out by the then Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure w ith the collaboration of INSTAT through annual surveys on urban waste. Municipalities reported to the Ministry on MSW and on construction and demolition waste. Considering that the overwhelming majority' of municipalities do not have access to sanitary landfills with an entry gate suitable for weighing trucks bringing waste, data are based on the number of truckloads that are dumped on the dumpsite or landfill. Thus, the amount of generated waste is only estimated, sometimes even in the case of modem sanitary' landfills.
