[01] Zakynthos drowning in garbage after locals block entrance to landfill
The island of Zakynthos, western Greece, is drowning in piles of garbage
as garbage trucks have stopped collecting them for the past two weeks,
after residents of Kalamaki blocked the entrance to the landfill
in Skopos.
The volumes of rubbish in some roads are so great that some streets
are completely closed to traffic. Locals from around the island say
they're worried about their health as they watch mice gathering around
the garbage bags which in many cases are close to their homes.
