The governance of waste: formal and informal rules in the central region of Mexico

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: Integrated solid waste management (ISWM) is the strategy for waste policy in Mexico. It entails a complex reorganization of waste services that disrupts preceding action systems and ignores previous local practices, such as scavenging, an informal activity whose goal is the recovery of materials from waste. The objective of this paper is to understand the governance of waste in a context of formal and informal rules in the central region of Mexico.
