Akkar residents oppose Tripoli waste
Local residents and officials in Akkar, northern Lebanon, refuse the plan to transport approximately 450 tons of waste daily from Tripoli to the Sarar landfill due to concerns over environmental and health impacts on the area, particularly groundwater pollution and increased overall pollution. These objections persist despite the fact that implementing the transportation requires legal amendments and prior agreements, accompanied by warnings that such actions could worsen pollution and threaten water sources. The residents call for improved developmental and health services instead of expanding the waste collection site, emphasizing the need to address their concerns before any expansion of waste transfer operations.
