Waste collection is a basic public service performed for everyone in OECD countries. Everyone? Well, a closer look reveals that this is not the case for a significant number of people.

This graphic presents the situation in selected OECD countries, highlighting a number of countries which have significant ratios of their population not served by municipal waste services.
