Belgian residents file 1,200 objections to REMO landfill reopening

Residents of Houthalen-Helchteren, Belgium, have submitted 1,200 objections against Groep Machiels' plan to reopen the REMO landfill for 5 million tons of waste over 17 years. They cite odor, health risks, and a vague environmental impact report. The outcome could set a precedent for local opposition to waste infrastructure in Belgium.
