In snake park people just dump their bins in the field next to the community police station and they don’t even respect the community and the police don’t try to engage with their community, to tell them not to dump, All the toxic materials that are dumped inside the community next to local food business and it’s costing them the money because people won’t consume food that’s prepared next to a smelling dump that has toxic fumes that come from the dump.

The business owner who cooks or prepares food, her name is Sara, and she always has a problem because she is next to the police station and the dump. She is so disappointed by the people of the community dumping next to her business place, which costs her a lot because people don’t want to buy her food because of the smell coming from the dump, and she loses her customers who always supported her business.

So much is being compromised by the households next to this dump because even you can smell fumes from the dump, and during summer, the dump becomes too smelly, and children go and take things from the dump to play with, and then after some time, they get sick.

The community must respect their place and make sure they take their bins out for the trash to be collected by the pick-up company, and stop dumping in the open fields where people do their work and businesses.
