Garbage or solid waste removal service
This refers to the way the inhabitants of the dwelling eliminate the waste generated there. The following options are presented:
-- Collected by the urban sanitation service: When the dwelling counts on a public garbage collection service, provided directly by the municipality, or through contracting companies.
[p. 33]
-- Deposited into a collective container: When the inhabitants of the dwellings on one street, block, or area take the garbage to a recipient or metal container where it accumulates and is collected later by the urban sanitation service.
-- No urban sanitation service: When the dwelling does not count on the previous services and the inhabitants use alternative methods for the removal of waste; such as, burying, burning, depositing in vacant lots, rivers, streams, etc.
