With the Sonsodo waste management shed reaching a stage of saturation, offering no room for unloading of fresh waste, the daily garbage was found dumped outside the plant on Tuesday as a temporary measure.

Trucks load of waste collected from the city was dumped outside the waste management shed at Sonsodo after the garbage laden trucks could not enter the plant with the daily waste.

Sources informed that since the garbage trucks could not enter the plant, which has almost reached the state of saturation, the truck drivers have been left with no option than to dump the waste outside the shed.
