Stop the Pollution.
Stop the Stench.
BLAST is a community-led coalition dedicated to ending the environmental mismanagement of Bryn Posteg, a landfill outside Llanidloes with an active history of mismanagement and illegal pollution.
Leachate levels 6x higher

80x the legal limit of methane found in perimeter boreholes
140x suspended solids entering watercourse
Our Demands
Bryn Posteg has been polluting our air and water for too long – killing streams, trapping residents in their homes, impacting local amenity use & limiting tourism. We demand change.
A plan for closure and effective post-closure management
The landfill site has been so poorly mismanaged, it is no longer an effective place to store waste. But the impacts of the millions of tons of waste will continue to harm the environment for decades to come if not properly managed.
