The process for hiring new operators, which started on February 24, 2021, had applications by 69 companies, 39 of which met the requirements, with 7 being approved.
The province of Luanda produces at least 6,800 tonnes of solid waste daily, which were being collected by six cleaning operators.
The six companies, which had the capacity to collect only 60% of the waste produced in the capital, lost their licenses as a result of the suspension of public contracts, by the provincial government of Luanda.
