During a press conference, activists noted that they will not give in to the whims of political powers, adding that a clear strategy should be set to resolve the pressing waste issue.
Lebanon has been grappling with a waste crisis following the July 17 closure of the Naameh landfill.
The cabinet pledged last year that the said landfill would be shut down and an alternative site would be found, however failed to live up to its promises.
The piles of garbage rotting in the summer heat triggered nationwide outrage and serious health warnings. To get rid of waste, frustrated residents set fire to dumpsters and trash containers, further polluting the hot and humid air.
The mess is a stark reminder of the cabinet crisis afflicting Lebanon, where politicians divided by local and regional crises have even failed to agree on where to dump the capital city's rubbish.
The government voted Thursday to postpone the decision until next Tuesday.
