Improper garbage and waste disposal by the Deraniyagala Pradeshiya Sabha has caused severe discomfort to the locals in the area.

The garbage collected daily by the Deraniyagala Pradeshiya Sabha is disposed at a public cemetery located 50 metres away from the Deraniyagala town. In addition to the garbage, human waste collected by gully bowsers are also disposed at this location.

Locals warn that the garbage and the human waste disposed here could also contaminate the Seethawaka River located nearby.
