Environment « La Minière » landfill - STUDY
Description
The public landfill of the Mining (located in the district Dar-es-Salam 2) built on an old quarry in 1980 was only to serve for 20 years, almost half a century later, Conakry continues to dump its 1600 tons of garbage every day. This 25-hectare landfill collapses during the rainy season, with whole mountain of waste on homes.
The project consists of rehabilitating the Mine landfill to not only make it safe, but also to protect the surrounding communities and recreate a living space.
Company activity
This study is part of a global project to set up a new waste treatment line in the agglomeration of Conakry with the creation of a CET remote from the capital. The solution studied concerns the closure of the current Mine landfill, site stabilization, identification of environmental and social issues, site valorization with a harmonious landscape integration
