Rubbish bins

Yes, me too. As I've said in other posts, I would have thought this was something that could be sorted. We are going out on Friday, I really hope this is not going to be an issue. This is our 12th visit and it seems to get worse each year. :(

Still rubbish at the entry to the abandoned hotel on the main strip, hopefully this will be gone tonight.

That's great news! Many people will be pleased about that.

The backlog will take some time to clear but at least things are getting better and the authorities must have found somewhere to put the rubbish. I heard on a Greek website translated through Google that a new land fill site had been found 'in the mountains' probably an old quarry or something.

Anyway I am really pleased this is getting sorted and just in time for my next visit in July.

Please keep the reports coming as hopefully other piles of trash will be cleared.

 When we left yesterday Maria was trying to persuade everyone who was going home to take a bag of rubbish with them
 maybe it worked!!
 Seriously it really was getting bad,as the weather got hotter the smell got worse.Left any longer it could have proved to be a potential
 health hazard,It doesn't take much imagination to realise the contents of some of those plastic bags (ref.the Corfu plumbing system)
 As we drove in the taxi to the airport the situation was even worse,it's going to take a while to clear it all up.I hope they manage to get it done before the start of the school holidays.

As has already been reported, the huge pile near Peli and Maria's was cleared last night, and I've been told the other huge pile opposite Aspa is going tonight.
The ongoing issue at the landfill site has not yet been resolved.....this has been organised on a local level. The rubbish is being taken away from the village and stored elsewhere until normal service resumes. As we've said, all the businesses have been pulling our hair out about this issue, and have found it accutely embarrassing. I'm not sure who is behind the organising of this, but a BIG BRAVO to whoever it is, and also to the people who are working through the night to remove it!

rilo57:
Yes hippopts, it must be a nightmare for the locals and their businesses, they only have a short slot to make their living and this problem is the last thing they need..So a big thank you to whoever  arranged or planned the removal of the rubbish..will gladley shake their hand/s and get the beers in..
