A garbage pit from Sipoteni village, Calarasi district discomfort to the residents of the surrounding.

The majority of the villagers throw the garbage there.

In consequence, the garbage lands on a surface of two hectares.

According to the mayor, the garbage pit was authorized by the local authorities a couple of years ago.

"We even built a wall so the villagers will not place the trash in the middle of the road", said Vasile Rata, the mayor of Sipoteni village.

The representatives of State Ecologic Inspectorate have been announced about this situation many times. The ecologists said that they fined the ones who burned the trash.
