Abstract
This paper describes briefly some of the administrative and engineering problems in projects for the collection and disposal of garbage. Technical literature occasionally states that the disposal of garbage has not kept pace with other sanitary engineering works. Such statements are generally coupled with, the suggestion that closer adherence to competent technical guidance would greatly improve the results. This is a sound suggestion. Some of the troubles are inherent in the situation and will yield finally only to general public opinion.
