This is an absolutely reckless, uninformed and poor decision by those who have no understanding of the massive cost for proper management of urban and environmental waste. This is even more disturbing for a country that probably does not have an established national environmental regulatory body and the required number of trained personnel and waste management companies to ensure that the wastes are properly characterized and their disposal managed so as not to lead to hazardous environmental challenges for the land, water, atmosphere and the people of of Sierra Leone now and in the future.
Is Sierra Leone planning to convert the garbage to fuel efficiently? If that is not the case and the , the Sierra Leone government does not have the necessary garbage management companies and facilities to handle such a massive importation of garbage, the Sierra Leone government should fully reevaluate its decision to accept the dumping of imported garbage in Sierra Leone.On Sat, Jan 9, 2016 at 7:23 PM, Cornelius Hamelberg <corneliushamelberg@gmail.com> wrote:

Has Sierra Leone become a garbage disposal dump? It's one of many questions
