We have received a report from the resident of Posedarje concerning the unloading of faeces in the open pit having a diameter of 20 x 20 in which the septic tanks are unloaded from all the surrounding villages, and unbearable stench spreads around the village (especially because the pit is open).

The Ministry of Environmental and Nature Protection says that Međimurje County (and the whole part of northern Croatian) is a promised land for the owners of poultry houses.

The following example comes from the village Palinovec where 6 poultry houses with more than 40,000 fattening chickens are located only 30 meters from the pond used by the locals for many years now as a promenade, as the track for various sports activities and for traditional sports-fishing competition for children and for teaching in nature, in cooperation with the elementary school Hodošan.

One of the constant problems encountered by the Environment Protection Organisation Nobilis while working on the Green Phone is precisely the discharge of slurry on private lands by careless neighbours.

The reports are most often made in the area of upper Međimurje, whether these are private fields, orchards or gardens. The area itself is specific due to the natural configuration of the soil where the adjacent property is usually on higher ground.
