abstract = {This paper presents a new non-parametric methodology in which robust frontiers are used to measure
the impact of environmental constraints on efficiency. In this approach, a data panel structure is applied
to determine which management forms for the delivery of municipal services – public or private, in cooperation
or individual – are best suited to the environment where the services are provided. The study
method proposed is then applied to analyse the waste collection service provided in Spanish municipalities
during the period 2002–2014. The results obtained show that of the management forms considered
inter-municipal cooperation adapts best to heterogeneous environmental conditions.},
