We'll take action against illegal waste dumping in Kruger

[Alf]

Looks like they have been using this site for a long time now.

[Flutterby]

Terrible!

[Lisbeth]

Obviously it is not only one site

[nan]

what a disaster

[Richprins]

Should be only the one site...there is the other one south of Skuks: https://africawild-forum.com/viewtopic.p ... 6&start=20



Will check the new one out this weekend, hopefully?

There are old gravel and sand pits all over Kruger, sterile, sort of, and a relatively fine place to dump non-combustibles. One can see a lot on google earth, but not really an environmental problem yet, until they start dumping indescriminately, which is not impossible at all...

what about the animals... rope, plastic etc...

[Richprins]

They get that next to the roads anyway, nana!

It's always been like that, every camp has a rubbish heap..where do you think the rubbish goes?

Not the end of the world. But should be away from tourists!

[nan]

to a recycling place... away from animals, birds and others

[Lisbeth]

Outside the park!

[Richprins]

Not feasible at all!

Some recycling theoretically goes out....but those bins you see?...Mostly all goes to the dump and gets burned then buried sometimes. But fine...it's not like Kruger has a different paradise property in this regard, it is just like any other piece of earth, waste just needs to be relatively properly managed, and has been fine for 100 years!
