In Tunisia's Ben Arous governorate, authorities are continuing their efforts to eliminate random waste dumping sites as part of an ongoing plan to combat all forms of pollution and maintain environmental cleanliness. The interventions aim to remove black spots and eradicate random waste dumping, which has become a daily operation involving various regional and local authorities, as well as security forces.
According to Major Makram Mansi, head of the Ben Arous Regional Municipal Police Unit, these interventions are no longer occasional campaigns but have become a daily and continuous effort. The goal is to eliminate black spots that cause environmental damage and harm public cleanliness. The authorities are working to clean up these sites, remove waste and construction debris, and develop green spaces.
Major Mansi emphasized that the state and local authorities are making significant efforts and providing resources to clean up these sites and maintain them. He stressed that it is essential to prevent individuals from re-dumping waste in cleaned-up areas. The primary objective of these interventions is to ensure citizens' comfort and public tranquility, as well as to eliminate anything that could disrupt public order or disfigure the environment.
The Ben Arous Regional Municipal Police Unit is working closely with local authorities to facilitate interventions, particularly regarding trucks that dump waste and construction debris illegally. Major Mansi noted that some sites in Ben Arous have been cleaned up and renovated multiple times but continue to be used for random waste dumping. The local authorities are providing the necessary equipment and resources to intervene and clean up these sites.
Major Mansi revealed that many trucks caught dumping waste intentionally hide or tamper with their license plates, making it difficult to identify and track them. The authorities are working with the public prosecutor's office to combat these practices. He praised the cooperation of the public prosecutor's office and citizens who report and document violations, which helps the authorities identify and take action against offenders.
The authorities are taking legal action against individuals and companies involved in random waste dumping. Major Mansi emphasized that the approach is not limited to organizing occasional campaigns but involves continuous daily work. The regional and local authorities, as well as security forces, intervene whenever a site requires attention.
