At last! A long-neglected alley in North Ruimveldt is exposed to the sunlight again. Clean-up efforts are under way in several wards of the city, some of which had not seen cleaning crews in years. (Photo by Jules Gibson)

    For the life of me, I can not understand why areas like this get littered in the first place. I people would not dump thier garbage, this would not happen, thus, not requiring a clean up.

  2. Mr Clean Up UNITED STATES says:

    The Government need to setup security cameras around GT so as to catch these nasty dumpers. Also people or neighbors need to report this matters as soon as the see these dumpers dumping to the police. People in Guyana need to move forward as the whole world is turning green. These dumpers need to learn a lesson when caught. So Mr. Mayor you need to get in your saddle and ride around town and look for the culprits. We need GT streets and drains clean at all times. Respect Cleanness.
