Well for the second time this year the dump, Mount Trashmore, caught fire and it was ablaze for five days.

The fire was huge. It is hard to describe the scale of it but schools had to be closed.

The centre of town was evacuated.

John Gray High School had to be activated as a shelter for the displaced.

Fire crews took five days to get the fire under control. Just unbelievable and this was the second time this year.

Mount Trashmore is a national icon and disgrace. It is sixty years of unsorted undocumented trash.

Literally everything that has been thrown away since the 1960’s.

No regs no rules.

Rumour has it that it includes toxic and medical waste some of which is radioactive.

The heat at the centre of the pile is tremendous.

The pile is unlined and leaking into the ground water and North Sound. It’s so poisonous it’s killed the surrounding mangrove.

Oh and it stinks.

It also catches fire periodically.
