The Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology, and Technical Supervision and the Environmental Prosecutor's Office of Bishkek are starting inspections of landfills and illegal dumps in the Naryn, Talas, Chui, and Issyk-Kul regions of Kyrgyzstan.
These inspections aim to enforce the Law "On Production and Consumption Waste" and crack down on unauthorized waste sites. The ministry reported that the country previously had 323 registered dumps, but that number fell to 230 following administrative reforms, reclamation, and the consolidation of smaller sites.
While officials eliminated 93 illegal dumps during this process, 160 unauthorized sites still exist.
