Wołomin illegal waste site: Mazovia allocates 30 million PLN for cleanup

Wołomin illegal waste Mazovian Voivodeship environmental hazard hazardous waste cleanup

The Mazovian Voivodeship government has secured approximately 30 million PLN to begin the removal of roughly 22,000 tons of illegally stored waste in Wołomin. This action, categorized as substitute performance, is being taken by the local government without waiting for state budget transfers to address immediate environmental and safety risks.

The site, located at Łukasiewicza 11, was discovered in 2023 and contains thousands of containers and drums filled with toxic, corrosive, and hazardous substances. Environmental inspections have reported leaking containers and the presence of harmful volatile organic compounds in the air.

The first phase of the cleanup will target the most dangerous materials, estimated between 1,500 and 4,200 tons. While the regional government is initiating these works, it will continue to seek reimbursement for the costs from the national budget. Total costs to fully restore the area are expected to exceed 100 million PLN.
