The Burgas municipality has removed unregulated landfills around lake Vaya. Most of the waste is made up of old car tires, which consist of a material that doesn’t decompose and needs a different treatment and recycling plan. The discarding of waste in unregulated landfills is a violation of the legal framework for environmental protection and is punishable by a 5000 lev fine. The Municipality of Burgas calls on the citizens to show concern for the protection of the environment and, if they witness such violations, to submit signals to the relevant institutions.
