Thilafushi

A very beautiful and charming place, there is a huge supply of all daily necessities here, from the raw market to the super shop. There are big, big factories of different companies in Thilafushi, people of different cultures make this island festive every day. Moreover, when the flyover work is being done from Thilafushi to Male is completed, this Thila fushi Island will achieve massive economic development.

this place is amazing, it's a good place to throw your trash. also, to people who complain saying "iT hARm'S tHE EnvIROMent", does you country not have garbage dumps? No. So if you want to complain. Stay QUIET.

Unworthy and unfit place to live even for one day. The kind of maldives one shouldn't see. I strongly condemn the govt of maldives for using this place as a garbage and not even bothered about the employees working there.

Thilafushi Island, an industrial zone, is littered with garbage, packed with scrapped construction machines and vehicles, and home to numerous company workshops. A chaotic and polluted workspace I see but they got the job done at the end of the day

Good place. but to much mosquitoes

Thilafushi is an artificial island located in the Maldives, a small island nation in the Indian Ocean. The island was created in 1992 as a solution to the growing problem of waste management in the Maldives. Today, Thilafushi is the largest waste management site in the country, serving as a landfill for the capital city of Malé and several other nearby islands. The island has been created by reclaiming land from the surrounding lagoon and filling it with waste. As a result, Thilafushi is not a typical island in the Maldives, which are known for their pristine white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. Instead, it is a vast expanse of garbage, with towering piles of trash and a distinct odor of waste in the air. Despite its unappealing appearance, Thilafushi plays a critical role in the Maldives' waste management system. The island receives over 300 tons of waste every day, and the garbage is sorted and processed by a team of workers before being buried in the landfill. The island also has a waste-to-energy plant, which converts some of the waste into electricity. However, the waste management practices on Thilafushi have come under scrutiny in recent years due to concerns about the impact of waste disposal on the environment and the health of the workers on the island. The Maldives government has announced plans to improve waste management practices on the island, including the implementation of new technologies to reduce the environmental impact of waste disposal. In conclusion, Thilafushi is a unique and essential aspect of the Maldives' waste management system, providing a solution to the growing problem of waste disposal in the country. While the island's appearance and practices may be unappealing, it is critical to recognize the important role that Thilafushi plays in keeping the Maldives clean and healthy.

Thilafushi (Dhivehi: ތިލަފުށި) is an artificial island created as a municipal landfill situated to the west of Malé, and is located between Kaafu Atoll's Giraavaru and Gulhifalhu of the Maldives. Thilafushi originally was a lagoon called "Thilafalhu" with a length of 7 km and a width of 200 metres at the shallowest regions. It came into existence following a series of discussions and efforts to resolve Malé's garbage predicament during the early 1990s. The decision to reclaim Thilafalhu as a landfill was made on December 5, 1991. Thilafushi received its first load of garbage from Malé on January 7, 1992. Operations started with just 1 landing craft, 4 heavyload trucks, 2 excavators and a single wheel loader. During its early years of waste disposal operations, pits (also known as cells) with a volume of 37,500 ft3 (1060 m3) were dug, after which the sand obtained from the excavation was used to construct walled enclosures around the internal perimeter of the cells. Waste received from Malé was deposited into the midst of the pit, which was topped off with a layer of construction debris and then uniformly levelled with white sand. Initially there was no segregation of the waste since it had to be disposed immediately due to mass accumulation.

SORT THE TRASH OUT. About time all these islands that earn millions from tourism deal with the waste and trash responsibly. BOYCOTT THE ISLANDS
