ELBASAN, Albania (Reuters) - Ilir Rranci moved to a hamlet outside the Albanian city of Elbasan for the view of snow-capped peaks and a garden big enough for fruit trees, chickens and turkeys. Today, however, the surrounding scenery is obstructed by a multicoloured mountain of rubbish from a next-door landfill.
The trash was supposed to be fed into a new incinerator to produce electricity, but the project has been plagued by operating problems and the pile now hulks above the surrounding fields.
