An estimated 30,000 scrapped cars are piled high on dumping sites in Tonga. To help reduce the waste for recycling, car compacting machines will be introduced under a cooperation agreement with the Government of Japan. “Please imagine, how splendid it is, if we could get rid of all the abandoned, discarded cars which now we can see everywhere. WAL is trying to make it happen, and Japan is going to support its plan by providing scrap equipment,” said Japan’s Ambassador.
