    Recycling :

    There are approximately 12,000 informal individual collectors and about 100 companiesfor collecting various recyclable waste. The current situation regarding non municipal

    hazardous waste infrastructure is extremely poor with most of that infrastructure being

    provided by the private sector in terms of collection and recycling capacities. The

    provision of these services and the associated infrastructure is extremely nascent and is

    largely dependent on the availability of recycling materials of an appropriate quality. In

    most cases this recycling industry is dependent on raw recyclable materials from outside

    Albania. Recyclable materials are mainly paper, plastics, glass, used oil, batteries, and

    cars coming out of use
