Tunisia's Banzart region has launched a crackdown on the random dumping of construction waste and debris. The regional governor, Salem Ben Yaqoub, has emphasized the need to activate legal and regulatory mechanisms against violators. This move aims to tackle the phenomenon of random waste dumping and eliminate black spots in the region. Ben Yaqoub made these remarks during a working session with local authorities and stakeholders.
The governor called for a joint action plan to identify black spots and determine areas suitable for use as designated sites for construction waste and debris. The plan will be implemented in accordance with existing laws and regulations. The goal is to create a comprehensive strategy to address the issue. Ben Yaqoub also urged local authorities to conduct a thorough inventory of unused land within urban areas that has been converted into illegal dumpsites.
Ben Yaqoub has instructed local authorities to issue written warnings to landowners, requiring them to clean up and secure their properties. The authorities will also take necessary legal action against violators. The governor stressed the importance of coordination among various stakeholders to combat this phenomenon, which causes harm to the urban aesthetic and public health.
The governor recommended studying the possibility of reusing unused land and black spots, converting them into public facilities such as parks, playgrounds, and green spaces. This initiative aims to prevent these sites from reverting to their previous state and ensure sustained cleanliness and urban beauty.
According to Ben Yaqoub, the goal is to create a comprehensive strategy to address the issue of random waste dumping. The authorities will work together to identify areas suitable for use as designated sites for construction waste and debris. This will help to eliminate black spots and prevent environmental damage.
