Stop Deben Garbage Dump Crisis

Comments

#2

We cannot live in the smoke at night which had carsogenic pollutants in the air. This has been going on for the past 7 years with no plan made by Gamagarra Municipality to make alternative plans for the waste removal or sorting.

Ek woon in Deben en ons asgate lyk gahoties en word nie in stand gehou nie. Die donkies, perde skape bokke alles loop tussen die vuilgoed en eet dit. Die gedurige brand wat sonder toesig gedoen word dan ook Kathu se vuilgoed wat hierheen gery word. Die omliggende plase word ook daardeur geraak.

This is asolutely disgusting! Why is the landfill site in Kathu not being utilised? Why is no access control as well? Why are we as resident not allowed to take garbage to the Kathu garbage site?

#59

It's degrading and inhumane for people to live in such vicinity of a dump, inhaling all the smoke day and night!
It's furthermore a nuisance to drive all the way to Deben to discard of household rubbish.
I've lived in a region of KZN where they have proper landfill sites, Gamagara should stop the catering budget and utilize those funds to get proper training to managing a landfill site.

The garbage from Kathu is transported to the Deben landfill in open trucks. Garbage is blown out of the trucks and into the road reserve.

Johan Boshoff (Kuruman, 2019-05-19)

#132

The dump site is not only dangerous to our health, as we have inhale the smoke, but also an environmental disaster. The site also encourages dumping on surrounding areas, as the roads leading there, is also severely littered by people duping illegally and people carrying garbage from the site.

Ek bly ongeveer 2km vanaf Deben se vullisterrein en ervaar daagliks die rook en besoedeling wat dit veroorsaak. Ek beskou dit as 'n reuse gesondheidsgevaar vir almal wat blootgestel word aan die rook en gemors wat ingeasem moet word en verder hou dit 'n besoedelingsgevaar vir Deben se grondwater in. Aangesien die inwoners afhanklik is van die grondwater vir daaglikse gebruik, word hulle gesondheid ook op die wyse bedreig.

Ina Kruger (Deben , 2019-05-20)
