Problem

In the light of the waste management dilemma occuring in Lebanon since 2016, dumpfills have spread enormously among the country, including a 14,000 m3 dumpfill in Cana village that had been causing several damages on various aspects (environmental, healthwise)

Goal

Implementation of a waste management plan and reducing the production of wastes in order to eliminate dumpfills

Methodology

A warehouse was rented, and with a grant from the Orange House Project, a waste compactor was purchased.
