Waste composition

Generation

Percentage composition of municipal solid waste according to characterisation studies, broken down by material type.

Coverage
Bolivia — 4 territorial levels (country, department, province, municipality)
Update frequency
Every five years
Before using this data
  • Characterisation is a study valid for several years, not an annual declaration: each record states the year of the study and how long it stands.
  • The hasOwnData field tells apart the municipalities that ran their own study from those applying reference values.

Tenders and calls for the waste service

Governance

Calls published by municipalities to procure goods and services for urban cleaning, with reference price and closing date.

Coverage

Last updated
2026-11-06
Before using this data
  • One row per call, not per period: the dataset is a register and is published with the cut-off date of its generation.
  • Drafts are excluded. Closed calls are kept because the value of the dataset is the procurement history.

Authorised waste management operators

Governance

Registered operators, with the waste categories they are authorised to handle, their capacity and their declared facilities.

Coverage
Bolivia — 4 territorial levels (country, department, province, municipality)
Update frequency
Every six months
Last updated
2026-11-06
Before using this data
  • One row per operator, not per period.
  • Applications under review are excluded: whoever has not been authorised yet is not an operator, and publishing them would suggest they may provide the service.

Waste management planning instruments

Governance

Municipal and departmental integrated waste management plans, with their approval, validity and expiry date.

Before using this data
  • One row per instrument, not per period.
  • Expired ones are included: the useful fact is not only who has a plan today, but who had one and let it lapse.

Waste management investment projects

Governance

Approved investment projects in integrated waste management, with their funding amount, beneficiary population and stage of the investment cycle.

Before using this data
  • One row per project, not per period.
  • Approved projects only: one that was submitted or flagged is still under review, and publishing it would present as settled an amount the reviewing level never validated.

Environmental licences for waste facilities

Governance

Environmental licences approved for waste management activities and works, with their category, validity and monitoring frequency.

Festivities affecting waste generation

  • One row per municipality, not per period.
  • The email and phone belong to the municipal unit, not to a person: knowing who to turn to is what makes the dataset useful.

Consolidated indicators by municipality

Reference

The same indicators published by the per-section datasets, pivoted to one row per municipality and period: each indicator in its own column, to compare municipalities without rebuilding the table.

Before using this data
  • Derived view: it adds no information, it comes from the same indicators already published and cannot say anything different.
  • It excludes counts of waste pickers and their associations, even though the original proposal asked for them: publishing them here would reintroduce through the back door data that was decided not to open.

Waste management regulations by territory

Governance

Regulatory instruments on integrated solid waste management from every territorial level, each with the territory that approved it and its level.

Where this data comes from

The data is declared by municipal and departmental governments inside the system, and reviewed at the corresponding level before publication. Under current regulation, information feeding SIGIR carries the status of a sworn declaration.

What is published is what has been approved. An ongoing period may appear incomplete: the frequency column states how often each territory declared.

Not every municipality reports yet, so coverage varies between datasets and between periods.

What we do not publish

The recycler register holds personal data — disability, income bracket, housing type, household headship — and is not published, not even aggregated: in a small municipality a cell with one or two people identifies them again. Authorised operators are published, because they are companies and what is opened is their authorisation, not a person’s data.

To check whether a recycler registration or an authorisation is valid there is the QR lookup, which answers case by case without exposing the full register.

How to cite

SIGIR — Integrated Waste Management Information System. Data catalogue. Retrieved on 11/14/2026.

Permitted use

The data may be copied, redistributed and transformed, including for commercial purposes, as long as the source is credited.

Data that is not published

The system collects this data and does not open it. It is declared here, with its reason, instead of being silently omitted.

Register of waste pickers and grassroots recyclers

The system records disability, income bracket, housing type and household headship per person. One row per individual can be re-identified by cross-referencing in small municipalities, and aggregating by gender and municipality is not enough either: a cell with one or two people identifies them all the same. It is collected to run the programme; it is not opened.

Waste picker associations and cooperatives

The organisation itself is publishable — member counts already come aggregated — but the register includes the name of the legal representative. Pending a decision on publishing the association without that column.

Waste intake at operator plants

It identifies the generator that delivered each batch. It is not personal data, but it exposes commercial relations between third parties who did not consent to publication. Pending definition with the Ministry.

Annual reports of authorised operators

Not a restriction but technical debt: the detail of the report lives in a JSON field with no declared schema, and publishing it would require settling that shape first.

Financial sustainability of the service

None of its indicators is enabled for publication in the indicator catalogue managed at national level.
