UNCONTROLLED DUMPING CONTINUES IN PAPHOS DESPITE GREEN POINTS

 Filenews 3 August 2023 - by Dora Christodoulou



A significant problem still exists in Pafos due to the arbitrary dumping of aggregates in many open spaces of the city and the peri-urban area.

Citizens complain that similar unacceptable practices are recorded in many parts of the province, demonstrating that the changes that have been initiated with the operation of the Green Points have not yet become the property of a large part of the citizens.

As a consequence of the current situation, significant pollution is recorded in many parts of the Pafos district from the deposition of aggregates, mainly pruning and household appliances.

The even significant dimensions of the problem were the reason why the Municipality of Pafos recently made new recommendations to the public to use the Green Point of Mouttalos and Koloni in the neighbouring Municipality of Geroskipou.
