Tunisia clears 10,000 cubic meters of waste in hammam-lif
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The municipality of Hammam-Lif, Tunisia, began removing approximately 10,000 cubic meters of solid waste on September 7.
The city initiated the cleanup of waste accumulating on vacant land and in hard-to-reach areas, requesting assistance from the national Ministry of the Environment because its own resources proved insufficient. This work falls under a national framework contract allowing the ministry to support municipalities facing large-scale waste removal or difficult terrain.
The Ministry of the Environment has already removed 30,000 cubic meters of solid waste from Sidi Hassine, Bardo, and El Mahres in 2026. In 2025, the ministry oversaw the removal of 195,000 cubic meters of construction and demolition waste from seven Tunisian governorates including Ariana, Tunis, and Sfax. Details about the Hammam-Lif operation remain limited. Officials have not yet specified the project’s duration, cost, the destination of the removed waste, or the precise types of materials collected.
However, the effort demonstrates the need for national support when municipalities struggle with substantial waste deposits.
