Kpone landfill may be decommissioned over growing environmental concerns – MCE

Speaking on JoyNews' The Pulse on Tuesday, July 14, Mr Morton described the situation at the landfill as “very disturbing”, acknowledging mounting complaints from residents and urban authorities over the deteriorating conditions at the waste disposal facility.

Residents say the overflowing waste has created unpleasant odours, environmental pollution and possible health risks, warning that continued use of the site could trigger a major public health crisis.
