Marn: Municipalities must decide what to do with the garbage after the closure of the Amsa landfill

The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Marn) has announced that municipal authorities are now responsible for determining the management and disposal of waste following the closure of the Amsa landfill. This directive shifts the burden of waste logistics to local governments, requiring them to establish new protocols for handling refuse in the wake of the site's shutdown. The decision follows the cessation of operations at the Amsa facility, a critical infrastructure point for regional waste management. The move necessitates urgent action from municipal leaders to address potential environmental and sanitation challenges caused by the lack of a centralized disposal site.
