England: families forced to live alongside garbage mountain

Leave a Comment
The residents of Cornwall Drive in St Paul's Cray, Brombley, near London, are forced to live next to a mountain of garbage for three years. The pile of trash is located down the street and reaches more than 12 feet tall and more than 18 meters wide â€" piling up a total of 18,000 tons of garbage.

During the summer, residents are prevented from enjoying their gardens or open the Windows to ventilate the House due to the unbearable smell that emanates from the mountain of garbage. The houses on the street have already lost business value, and the residents fear for their health and for their children.

Residents accuse the company that manages the location of fails to deliver payments to that trash can be sent for treatment or for recycling. "It's a nightmare. The dust, the trucks and their noises. The smell is sometimes nauseating, like burning plastic. Sometimes enters into the House. I've been sick several times because of it, "says Alan Cowburn, a resident of the street.

Currently, the case is in court, but still nothing has been decided about the future of the mountain of garbage.
