Gov’t to turn Minufiya landfill into EGP 40 mn recycling plant

The government is planning to launch development on a EGP 40 mn recycling plant today on the site of what was once an informal landfill in Minufiya, according to a statement from the Ismail Cabinet. The Abu Kharita landfill, the largest of its kind in Egypt, was recently cleared from nearly 280k tonnes of garbage as part of a wider government plan to eliminate informal landfills across the country, including 12 around Cairo.
