Kamal Persaud

The first step in making Bartica a green town is dealing with the solid waste problem that has always plagued the community, according to Deputy Mayor Kamal Persaud.

“We can’t keep taking the old habits along with us and the solid waste management is one of the major concerns, especially for me and the council,” Persaud told Stabroek News on Sunday.

She explained that since the new council has assumed office, it has been intensifying the cleanup around the town in order to make the town more “green.”
