During a Parliament sitting on Friday, caretaker Environment and Water Minister Julian Popov urged mayors to be more proactive about irregularities with garbage disposal, in response to questions concerning unregulated landfills. He said that local matters should not be resolved solely by the central government or the caretaker cabinet.
Popov said that the Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Water issues orders for cleaning up pollution and performs follow-up inspections. Cleaning unregulated landfills and implementing measures against waste disposal in unauthorized locations is the mayors' responsibility, the Minister concluded.
