Environmental crime in Shijak, the municipality creates an illegal landfill in

The investigative show "Piranhas" brings the latest denunciation from the Municipality of Shijak, which, in collaboration with the private firm AMR, has created an illegal landfill in the village of Hardhishte, where all the city's waste is dumped and buried.

The Mayor of Shijak, Elton Arbana, during a confrontation with journalist Freard Rista, stated that according to the tender specifications, the waste is deposited in the Sharra landfill, denying the environmental crime being committed in the village of Hardhishte.

In that area, the Municipality of Shijak's excavator digs holes for dumping waste, while the private company's vehicles go there and unload it. But not only the city's waste, but also the waste of private entities interested in cleaning up their area.

As for the tender for "Cleaning, collection and disposal of urban waste and maintenance of public spaces and city cemeteries", with a limit fund of over 1.2 billion old lek excluding VAT, it is red flagged for lack of competition, because the AMR firm is the only firm participating in the competition, and the municipality has accepted its offer, 99.7% of the set limit fund. The private firm has foreseen the placement of 341 containers and the emptying of waste every day by tons, but these forecasts do not suit the private company, which has only 4 vehicles available for this process. Also, human resources consist of 30 employees, a small staff that it is not known how it will cope with the cleaning of the entire area of ​​the Shijak Municipality, including the villages. Syri tv
