Residents in Kissonerga Urge Action Over Hazardous Waste Dumping at Local Green Point
Residents of Kissonerga have raised alarms about uncontrolled waste dumping at a local green point, citing environmental hazards and fire risks near residential homes. Originally designed for the disposal of garden cuttings, the site has become a dumping ground for various unwanted items, including organic waste, leading to foul odors and attracting rodents and reptiles.
Local citizens have sent photos and letters to news outlets, urging authorities to take immediate steps to supervise and clean the green point. They warn that accumulated waste poses a significant fire risk, particularly during the dry summer months, which could have severe consequences.
In related developments, a new legislative framework aimed at curbing illegal dumping and burning of agricultural plastics is under review by the House environment committee. The proposal includes free collection points for farmers and mandates producers to cover waste collection and transport costs, paving the way for enhanced nationwide recycling efforts.
