Environment Minister Tarek al-Khatib stressed Friday that the ministry will send a detailed letter to the municipalities explaining the stages of waste treatment, noting that he asked the cabinet on Thursday to publish a summary on the executive policy for the waste file in the official Gazette so that the citizens can read it before being launched during a general conference later.
Speaking during a press conference addressing the details of the waste plan and the decision to expand the Costa Brava landfill, al-Khatib emphasized that the municipality has become the authority authorized to take the necessary measures in this regard.
“We will set a timeline for municipalities to take measures to address the issue of garbage,” he added, pointing out that the waste of Chouf and Aley regions will be transported to Costa Brava landfill.
