Public-private partnerships in urban environmental services have witnessed increased interest in recent years primarily to reform the weak performance of the public sector, reduce cost, improve efficiency, and ensure environmental protection. In this context, successful public-private partnerships require a thorough analysis of opportunities, a deliberate attention to process details, and a continuous examination of services to determine whether they are more effectively performed by the private sector. A comparative assessment of municipal solid waste collection services in the two largest cities in Lebanon where until recently municipal solid waste collection is private in one and public in the other is conducted. While quality of municipal solid waste collection improved, due to private sector participation, the corresponding cost did not, due to monopoly and an inadequate organizational plan defining a proper division of responsibilities between the private and the public sector.
近年来，城市环境服务领域的公私合作伙伴关系受到了越来越多的关注，主要目的是改革公共部门的薄弱表现、降低成本、提高效率并确保环境保护。在这种背景下，成功的公私合作伙伴关系需要对机会进行全面分析，刻意关注流程细节，并持续审查服务，以确定私营部门是否能更有效地提供这些服务。对黎巴嫩最大的两个城市的城市固体废物收集服务进行了比较评估，直到最近，其中一个城市的城市固体废物收集是私营的，另一个是公共的。虽然由于私营部门的参与，城市固体废物收集的质量有所提高，但由于垄断以及缺乏明确界定私营部门和公共部门之间适当责任划分的组织计划，相应的成本并未降低。
