Summary
Ljubinje is a local municipal-waste landfill beside the Ljubinje–Trebinje main road in Miljanovići, receiving waste from across the municipality. The terrain is strongly karstic and waterless, so most rainfall sinks underground. A single surface-soil sample was tested and showed serious contamination: cadmium, cobalt and nickel reached a level indicating a need for cleanup, and chromium was above the level at which land is no longer considered clean. Oil, lead, copper, zinc and combustion-related compounds were within the prescribed limits.

Positive findings
