Plans for the treatment of hazardous waste in the region are rejected, the councillors of the Ústí Region agree

The Regional Council of Ústí nad Labem has rejected plans to build a facility for processing hazardous waste in the area, citing conflicts with local zoning plans and environmental concerns. The proposed incineration plant would handle hazardous waste from across the Czech Republic, including illegal styrene waste stored at the Celio landfill near Litvinov. The council argues that existing facilities, such as the one in Trmice, already have sufficient capacity after recent upgrades. They emphasize that hazardous waste should be processed where it was generated, rather than being transported to other regions, which they view as transferring ecological burdens. The council has requested a comprehensive assessment of all risks associated with handling, transporting, and disposing of hazardous waste, including safety protocols and potential emergencies. The final decision will be made by the regional office.
