Tripoli discusses waste crisis and landfill closure
A discussion was held in Tripoli regarding the city's waste crisis, focusing on the imminent expiration of the current landfill's capacity in August 2026 and the need to find suitable alternatives for waste disposal. Officials pointed out that daily waste amounts exceed 450 tons, with over 100 tons coming from outside the city, and highlighted financial and environmental challenges related to waste management. They emphasized the necessity of a sustainable plan based on source separation and recycling. Several alternative options were also presented, such as adopting the Srar landfill and converting it into a sanitary landfill, while rejecting certain environmental options like sea dumping to protect the environment. The city faces significant financial difficulties, with a collection rate of only 43%, and is undergoing a transitional phase in waste management. Long-term solutions are urgently needed to ensure a clean and sustainable environment.
