The proposed disposal of 2,000 tonnes of rotting bananas has caused a dispute in Greece.
The problems arose when a vessel carrying bananas from Ecuador to Turkey suffered a refrigeration failure and the captain had to dock at Volos, in Greece.
The fruit was being stored at the dock for three days, before the local mayoral council agreed to dump it in a nearby landfill site.
However, residents living next to the site have protested and raised several petitions claiming the dumping of that many bananas will harm the local environment.
