What We do

About Our Work

At BSWaMA, we are dedicated to improving solid waste management throughout Belize. Our efforts are centered on institutional strengthening, ensuring that both our authority and local governments are equipped to manage waste efficiently and sustainably. We provide technical assistance for upgrading waste facilities, such as transitioning open dumpsites to controlled disposal sites and developing waste transfer stations. Public awareness is key to our approach, as we educate and engage communities in responsible waste disposal and recycling practices.
