Waste dumped in river

Environmental Ministry has undertaken some measures that have been made
public in the media, for placing some temporary filters that will impede
sea water pollution in Durres beach, but they are not taking any
further steps for stopping an environmental massacre in the waters of
Shkumbin River, where tons of urban waste are thrown each day, all of
which end up into sea.

This waste disposal area, built along the river, is filled every day by the waste materials of Kavaja and Rrogozhina municipalities, and also the communes of Gose and many others. Insisting with their irresponsibility and by violating every environmental law, these local units have not taken any measure for changing the situation. Solid wastes are pushed every day with bulldozers into the waters of Shkumbin River, or are set to fire.

Smoke and bad smell has created a grave situation for the residents.
All waste materials that are thrown in the river end up into the sea, by polluting it too.
