#Ukraine - Trash Business: Escalating number of landfills endangers both environment, economy: UKRAINE TODAY

Published on 6 Jun 2016
Three firemen killed in the landslide at a Lviv region junkyard were laid to rest this weekend. The body of the fourth victim, an ecologist is yet to be found. The rescue operation had to be terminated due to the severely dangerous conditions at the Hrybovychi waste site.

The tragic incident certainly brought attention back to the systemic issues within Ukraine's recycling industry. According to ecologists, garbage sorting and recycling is nothing more than a myth to Ukrainians. Nearly all discarded stuff end up at landfills just like the one in Hrybovychi regardless whether it is glass, wood, or paper.

Ukraine does have one garbage recycling plant. Located in Kyiv, the facility that was built in 1986 continues to operate today, continuously converting waste to alternative energy sources.

The summer box office season is just about to heat up, or maybe not. Over the weekend, 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows,' which cost Viacom's Paramount Pictures $135 million to produce had a disappointing opening weekend. The film brought in just a little more than $35 million dollars, that's roughly half of what the previous Ninja Turtles film in the franchise brought in on its opening weekend in 2014. Now, while the summer movie season normally picks up around the Fourth of July weekend, early disappointing sales could be a sign that movie-goers are tiring of sequels and remakes.
