Garbage Leachate Spills October 2008 to March 2009

For the last six months I have filmed and photographed this corner to document the release of garbage leachate on streets in our community. After every spill I wrote a letter to Members of Vancouver City Council. Neither the last Council or the new Council have answered one letter. It is obvious that there has been no will to stop the garbage leachate from being released. The combinations of substances creates a toxic garbage leachate. We line our landfills to keep the garbage leachate inside and yet we allow the same substances to be spread all over the streets and lanes of North American cities that use compactor garbage trucks not designed to contain fluids. We have done irreversible damage to the environment and it is allowed to continue. Not one level of government in Canada has stepped up and decided it would be a good idea to protect the environment and all that live in it from the continual release of garbage leachate from compactor garbage trucks.
