abattoirs are contaminating the drains and rivers in Brunei. They give off unpleasant
smells to the surroundings. They pose potential health hazards to human beings as the
burning of feathers and dead chickens not only results in the emission of offensive smells
but could also assist the spreading of diseases. Currently there are no specific methods of
disposal in Brunei. Farm wastes are either simply buried and burnt within the farm
premises, or are dumped directly into domestic garbage dumping sites, which in turn are
emptied at the existing rubbish landfill.
