· Solid waste: places, bins to put rubbish in, in the
house, or in the street · Has UNTAET any plan to clean the city, or to build
infrastructure for cleaning the city? · Great increase in solid waste since UN arrival-
change in the type of waste · lack of environmental awareness work program · lack of knowledge as to where rubbish should go · Can’t find the right person to speak to ·
Non bio-degradable rubbish a problem since Indonesian times · No place to dispose of waste water- it now goes to
creeks, beaches, and ground water · Polluted, contaminated water kills fish and other
marine life · No seperation between
grey, black, and storm water · Septic tank overflows · Impacts on human health- water-borne diseases · Oil, petrol from cars, goes to drains.
