The Municipal Waste Problem in Sarajevo: 'It Feels Like We Live on a Landfill'
Sarajevo residents, particularly in Gornji Pofalići, report persistent piles of household and bulky waste, foul smells and concerns about rats and leptospirosis. Residents attribute the problem both to delayed or insufficient collection by the municipal company Rad and to people dumping waste improperly. Rad says it has recently cleared 28 illegal dumping sites, removing more than 51,560 kilograms of waste, and has announced changes to bulky-waste collection prices and services. The article highlights an ongoing public-health and environmental problem involving inadequate capacity, inconsistent collection and citizen behavior.
