Community leader and senior citizen of Lae city, Sasa Zibe-Kokino, said he has been advocating against this waste management issue from the three fish processing facilities at Malahang since last year.
Zibe-Kokino even submitted a letter to the Lae City Authority in June last year regarding the improper industrial waste disposal, but is yet to get a response.
Health concerns have also been raised by residents at Bumbu and especially the Butibam health centre, which closes its doors when the wastes, mixed with floodwater, spill into the clinic.
