WILLEMSTAD - The Minister of Curaçao, Javier Silvania, has signed a cease-and-desist order aimed at the illegal cardboard waste dump located near Veeris. This order mandates that the site be completely cleared within a strict two-week timeframe.
One of the primary concerns behind this action is the lack of official authorization for such activities within a residential area. Not only is the waste dump operating without the necessary permits, but it has also been a constant source of disruption for the local community.
Residents in the vicinity have consistently voiced complaints about the adverse effects stemming from the illegal landfill. Notably, the site has become a breeding ground for pests, adding to the woes of the surrounding neighborhood. Moreover, the noxious odors emanating from the dump have further aggravated residents' concerns.
