"Landfill in Georgia operational"

30/July /2014

 

Ameco rehabilitated the landfill of Borjomi, Georgia, together with Georgian and Dutch partners within the framework of the bilateral cooperation between the Netherlands and Georgia. 

The landfill is located adjacent to the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park, one the largest protected areas of Europe. Until recently, the landfill was not more than an uncontrolled dumpsite, spilling waste and dangerous substances into the environment. The landfill has been covered using innovative Dutch technology and knowledge and is designed according to national and international standards. 

Simultaneously a waste transfer station has been build that will contribute to the promotion of waste recycling and better registration and control of waste management. The sanitary landfill in Borjomi will serve as an example for the rehabilitation of other landfills in Georgia.
