The management of waste is an even more difficult challenge. The Ministry of Home Affairs and the Funafuti City Hall are responsible for this task, and the European Union, Australia and Taiwan have been providing technical assistance since 2000.
至於廢棄物處理則更是棘手，由內政部及市政廳共同負責，並從 2000 年起陸續有歐盟、澳洲及台灣的技術援助。
