From 2005 to 2006, methods by landfill had a plummet from 1800mt to 1200 mt, while burning rose slowly by about 100 mt. However, dumping at sea after a year remained unchanged, with a value of 600 mt. in 2006, burning and dumping at sea had the same value of 600 mt .
Over the next 2 years, the amount of waste disposing by burning increased from about 700 mt to approximately 900 mt, meanwhile landfill decreased sharply from 900 mt to 600 mt . 2 years ago, there was no change in dumping at sea, but between 2007 and 2008 there was a slightly decrease from 600 mt to a little below 600 mt
