Everyone has a right to basic services (SDG 1.4), one of which is regular and reliable solid waste collection. Yet despite much progress, according to the latest UNEP estimates (GWMO2024), some 2.7 billion people worldwide still lack access to collection services; in addition, of municipal solid waste that is collected, a significant proportion is open dumped or burned.
