鈥楬azardous waste in illegal landfill鈥
Print Edition
HUAXIN Town in Qingpu District illegally dug a football pitch sized landfill near homes, in which residents claim hazardous industrial waste has been dumped, Shanghai Television news reported yesterday.
The landfill is in Huaihai Village, where people have been relocated to make room for an electricity substation. However, there are still more than 700 families living the Qinglong Village in the Baihe Town, on the other side of a river, no more than 100 meters from the landfill site, it reported.
Residents from Qinglong Village said the landfill, more than 10 meters deep, was excavated in last December and industrial waste dumped there.
At the scene, empty plastic buckets labeled industrial waste were visible.
“Villagers who worked for chemical plants said they were familiar with the smell,” said villager Gu Ming.
The official in charge of the environment and health administration of Huaxin Town said the villagers’ committee, the environmental authority of Huaihai Village and the township government had together decided the location by a verbal agreement.
“We needed a place to bury the town’s waste,” the official, whose named was not given, told the TV news, said.
But he denied that industrial waste had been dumped there — only empty containers.
By law these should be recycled.
