English term or phrase: Field Operations
I have asked about the translation of "Field Operations" before but I'm not sure in this case that Operaciones de Campo is the correct translation, can somebody give me some ideas?
In the translation I'm doing they are talking about the field Operations of waste/trash pickup. How would you translate "Field Operations" to Spanish using it the way they are?
e.g Field Operations provides weekly collection services to more than 65,000 residential and commercial locations.
Thanks!

agree  traductorchile: If it wasn't for the capital "O" I would have gone for actividades en terreno. Hopefully in the rest of the text there should be some reference to backup the idea that it's a unit or Dept.

agree  Bubo Coroman (X): así o más literalmente "Unidad de Operaciones en el Campo" donde el "campo" se refiere a las zonas donde se generan los desechos
