have dedicated works for solid waste collection , and  Eighty 80 communities (120,237 persons of
262,246 persons) do not have SW containers, and 67 communities (77,195 persons
of 262,246 do not have solid waste tractors with a trails are necessary for
SWM. the average, maximum and minimum of SW production per capita at JASD
