Waste collection methods vary widely among different countries and regions. Domestic waste collection services are often provided by local government authorities, or by private companies for industrial and commercial waste. Some areas, especially those in less developed countries, do not have formal waste-collection systems.
According to article L.541-1-1 of the Environment Code, collection is defined as "any operation of collecting waste for transport to a waste treatment facility". We can see that there is a multitude of waste with each its mode of collection. As the world is currently moving towards a circular economy, waste collection methods are
Alternative wastewater collection systems like constructed wetlands treat wastewater naturally and are gaining popularity due to their eco-friendly approach. The continual evolution of wastewater collection methods and technologies is essential to meet the growing environmental and sanitation demands of urbanization while ensuring public
Storing waste at the source of its generation until it is collected is the first essential step of waste management. The factors to consider in the on-site storage of solid wastes include the type of container to use, container location, collection method, and public health and aesthetic aspects.

The collection system must have a minimum wastewater flow velocity of 2 ft/second (fps). At this velocity, solids will be kept in suspension. Slower velocities will allow settling in the piping collection system. If solids settle in the collection system, these depositions will accumulate over time and can cause a blockage.
Improved Efficiency: Automated collection processes reduce the frequency and cost of waste pickup and can lead to more efficient waste management. Environmental Benefits: By reducing the number of garbage trucks needed, underground waste systems can lower greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion. Hygiene and
