In Yaoundé, Cameroon, inefficient municipal waste collection services and extensive informal dumpsites contribute to open dumping, environmental degradation, and community exposure to waste-related hazards.

NOT BS — Verdict: True

The Short Version
The evidence strongly supports this description of Yaoundé’s waste problem. Multiple recent, Yaoundé-specific institutional and research sources report inefficient collection, widespread informal dumping, and associated pollution and health risks. Reform efforts exist, but they do not negate the documented fact that inadequate collection and uncontrolled dumps continue to drive open dumping and community exposure to waste-related hazards.
Caveats
Conditions are not uniform across all districts; some areas have better collection coverage than others.
Government and private-sector reforms are underway, so the situation is evolving rather than entirely static.
Some supporting studies are older or lower-quality than the strongest institutional sources, so the conclusion should rely primarily on the most recent Yaoundé-specific evidence.
