After checking this report and reading some of the comments and article shared online, it seems that the Nahmeh residents have every right to protest and close the road to the Sukleen trucks. Nevertheless, Sukleen is not to blame as well directly as it’s only tasked with collecting garbage. The sole party responsible for this mess are the Lebanese authorities of course who didn’t properly follow up on this matter from the start and allowed things to get to this point.
If Sukleen is not doing a good job and does not have proper plans to recycle waste or get rid of public waste in an eco-friendly way, that’s another story which Lebanese authorities need to handle as well by signing a new company. Having said that, we shouldn’t be pissed off at Sukleen or Naameh people but instead a good idea to protest would be dumping all our garbage in front of our politicians’ houses and villas, then maybe they’ll do something about it.

I agree, garbage should be dumped in front of the politicians homes.that’s a brilliant solution Mahmoud!
I totally agree with you… This is what we should do…

Dumping garbage in front of their houses ,gr8 idea,which should’ve been done long time ago
Let the trucks go to Sahet el Nejmeh in front of the parliament, put the space to good use…
Sukleen charges 150-160$ per tonne of garbage
the most expensive worldwide..in europe it’s around 60$!
why this extra charge? because all the politicians from 8 and 14 get paid
i remember last year the only one who refused to renew for Sukleen was the FPM movement (and they’ve been warning about this problem since a long time), even Frangieh changed his mind at the last second and voted for the renewal of sukleen contract.
this is what we should expect from corrupted leaders and a society in deep coma
You can’t rely on the lebanese to do anything, seriously.
Yes, that is an excellent idea to drop the trash in front of the gov’t bldg. But, that is all lebs are good at talk, but no action. Who is going to organize a group of citizens and initiate dumping the trash? No one! Oh, how I wish someone proves me wrong to show me there is hope in a grassroot movement. But, who am I fooling? Lebs are only good at argillia, cafes & clubbing, and wasting time. c’est le vie, right… the mentality live for the moment, and who gives a $h*t to help out the community or my neighbor.
Trash begets trash. Or let me word it from the good ol’ book ” Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” In other words you reap what you sow, folks.
