Curitiba, Southern Brazil, is considered one of the cleanest cities of the country because of two main reasons:

1. The garbage policy:

Citizens separate their trash into two categories, organic and non-organic, which is collected by two sets of trucks so that there is no mixing. Poor families in squatter settlements, unreachable by trucks, bring their trash bags to a neighbourhood centre where they can exchange the trash for bus tickets or food.

2. Transportation:

Core to the city's unique transport system is the bus service: 1 100 buses make 12 500 trips a day serving 1,3 million passengers. The buses are express buses that operate on dedicated busways; rapid buses that operate on the busways and other city streets; bi-articulated buses also for rapid transport but using high-capacity lanes; inter-district buses and feeder buses.

Curitiba, Brazil?
