The growth of cities and the rapid expansion of human activities have led to a large increase in waste production, whether in an urban or rural setting. Without a policy to protect the environment and provide a public service of refuse collection, future human habitats and fragile ecosystems will be compromised. Refuse can also hinder traffic, produce disagreeable smells and be a possible source of serious health and environmental risks, through infiltration and surface streaming.

SANCO offers a service of refuse collection. A compactor collects the refuse which is then placed in dumpsters capable of holding 1 to 20 cubic meters of refuse. Our dumpsters are metal boxes fitted with wheels to facilitate their being moved from place to place. To counter possible stench, powerful deodorants, in heavily concentrated form which are not harmful to humans, are sprayed before, during and after collection. The refuse is then compacted before discharge in an authorized dump.

Through this service, SANCO helps to protect natural resources such as water and soils and the quality of life for Haitians.
