Solution found for disposal of spoiled foodstuffs
CORFU. The information comes from sources close to the Secretary General for Solid Waste Management, Mr. Grafakos, and concerns the transfer of about 1,500 tons to a certified facility outside the island
Specialised personnel from a certified company are expected to arrive today, Monday, to handle the transport of the spoiled foodstuffs from the damaged wing of Goggakis frozen goods business.
According to well-informed sources, the sorting, loading, and transportation operations will be carried out by the company, as well as the disposal of the materials through sanitary burial at a certified facility outside Corfu.
