Caste study: cost-effective open dump up-grade: Tafaigata dumpsite

In late 2002. the open dump for Samoa's main island of Upolo. was a smelly, smoking mess like many similar open dumps in the Pacific. With the assistance of the Japan International Co-operation Agency ( JICA) and the Secretariat of the Pacific
Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), a major up-grade was begun to a sanitary landfill using the Fukuoka semi aerobic method. The basic engineering saw the access road up-graded
to allow all weather access to stop roadside dumping.
