how and where do they dispose of it?
What i'm reading is that when householders cannot afford to pay, when hotels don't choose to, where areas have no rubbish truck service, then rubbish simply gets dumped (illegally) all over the island. In rivers and mangrove swamps, on vacant land. Mountains of rubbish. A lot of it ending up in the ocean.
Here's an article by Olivier Pouillon, of the recyclers Jimbaran Lestari, that someone reading this might find of interest.
