The policy passed by Ibanda Municipal council last year requires each building in the municipality to have a dustbin. The policy gives the authorities power to revoke license of businesses that do not meet the specifications.
In Mbarara Municipality, the cleaners, and garbage collectors at Kekombe garbage dumping site in Kakiika division use bare hands and sometimes light polyethylene material to sort garbage. The unsorted garbage is usually a collection of rotting food waste, broken glass, plastics, used needles, dangerous metals, wood and sometimes liquid waste, among others.
