Trash Is Piling Up In Beirut, Lebanon ... And There's Nowhere To Toss It

How Can Lebanon Fix its Waste Crisis
↠Watch our series "crisis EXPLAINED": https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3CjNbCdQe8SrkyzCMOAl5QfOwzPjZ0J
There's an ongoing crisis in Lebanon, that's trying to be suppressed. With rubbish dumps full to bursting since 2019, the country is drowning in its own waste. Around 85% of Lebanon’s trash goes to landfill, but only an estimated 10% actually needs to. That’s a massive gap – can it be closed? Filmmaker Andy Burgess set out for us to investigate some causes, effects, and possible solutions to Lebanon’s waste crisis.

While the protesters have since moved on, the garbage hasn’t, and the same waste problem continues.
