The Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development has made offers to a number of solid waste contractors based on their submissions, after being inundated with proposals from as far as North America for the solid waste recycling programme.

“We have had proposals so far ranging from collection, packaging and exporting of recyclable materials. We’ve had proposals of establishing recycling factories in Guyana and the using of recyclable materials to fashion new products that can be of use to the Guyanese public including using recycled materials to construct light poles… presently we are using wood poles,”
