After visiting the community last summer, we think that donating a truck to them will bring significant improvement. This community is spread out geographically, with 13 settlements, which they are aiming to extend collection to through a newly established municipal company. They have expressed need for both bins and an additional garbage truck, since they can\u2019t cover the whole community with the limited resources they have.
