The dump needs to be relocated. I suffer with asthma and the smoke makes it difficult to perform at work and home. Fix this problem immediately.

while many residents take their part in recycling, clean-ups and many other nature an humanitarian volunteer work to make the island they love and cherish a better place, why does the government does NOT do their part? Shame shame shame!

For the last decade the increase of cancer has become great in SXM. The fire on the dump of toxic chemicals iss one of the reasons. Kids suffering from asthma etc. Please take the necessary steps

This landfil is a health hazard, environmental disaster and is placed in the beathing heart of St.Maarten. This landfil is one of the reasons why we lost our great salt pond and contaminating the air we breathe. This dumb needs to go! Not buried not burned but in an environmentally safe way remove and properly dispose of.
