Municipal Landfill for the City of Coroico
The city of Coroico has a population of approximately 2,200 inhabitants. A new landfill, currently being constructed, will be distributed over an area of approximately 9,100 m2, helping the municipality of Coroico achieve a city-wide integrated solid waste management program. The project also includes the purchase and donation of a trash-collection truck, purchase of nine trash dumpsters and various garbage cans, as well as training, outreach, and education in solid waste management for both municipal workers and the general population. In addition, ACDI/VOCA will provide training and technical assistance in landfill operation and maintenance for landfill operators and staff. Such training and technical assistance also assures that the municipality meets environmental standards and closure regulations. The landfill has a projected life of 11-years.
