At the moment we are managing an emergency situation due to the multiple and multi-year problems that have arisen, the General Directorate of the Environment responds in a newspaper article ” Phileleftheros” for OEDA Pentakomou.
He adds that the proper operation and upgrading of the OEDA Pentakomos, in the context of the holistic and proper management of all waste management units and infrastructures, as provided for in the strategy being followed, “is our main priority, on the basis of which we work with dedication” .
According to the General Directorate, the publication “describes a situation which, since 2017, has been operating incorrectly, as a result of the contractor's inability to fulfill the provisions of the contract”.
It states that the state “made the brave decision to take over this unit, knowing it was taking over a chaotic situation, in an effort to end years of wrongdoing for which there are ongoing legal proceedings.”

According to the complaints, today there is a burial without any treatment of the solid waste received from the OEDA of Pentakomo at the landfill of the Unit, either with trucks that transport untreated municipal waste from the reception of the Unit, or directly with the collection vehicles that serve municipalities and communities of the Limassol district which enter the unit and unload at the landfill.
