Method and limitations
Plastic waste to dumpsites
This page combines a national estimate with available data for named dumpsites.
How it is produced
The estimate adds household self-haul to formal collection not attributed to Naboro. Vunato figures are shown separately from data supplied through PRF and the dumpsite manager. Empty named sites are placeholders, not zeros.
Read with care
Fiji does not yet have a complete dumpsite register or standard weighbridge coverage. Do not add the national estimate and individual-site series together.
