إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The final preparations for the implementation of Agriculture Minister Akram Shehayyeb's waste disposal plan are underway amid the search for a suitable landfill location, reported the daily al-Mustaqbal on Sunday.
Ministerial sources told the daily that the implementation of the plan is “awaiting the approval of Hizbullah over a new proposed location of a landfill in the northern Bekaa region.”
Should an approval be made, then Prime Minister Tammam Salam will call cabinet to session to ratify the executive steps for Shehayyeb's proposal, added the sources.
They predicted that Hizbullah would announce its stance on Sunday or Monday at the latest.
Cabinet will consequently be held on Monday or Tuesday, they stated.
Lebanon was plunged in a garbage disposal crisis after the closure of the Naameh landfill on July 17.
The closure resulted in the accumulation of trash on the streets throughout the country and the popping up of arbitrary dumps, which have created health and environment hazards.
Shehayyeb had proposed the temporary reopening of the Naameh landfill and the establishment of two sanitary landfills.

The trash crisis is symbolized by this picture, that both M14 and M8 have failed miserably, the next 10 years will come to pass, and no problem will be solved, it will just be an accumulation of problems upon problems. This is what happens to a country when extreme polarization reigns between rival parties and their constituents.
