With the Georgetown city council unable to retain the services of private garbage collectors Cevons Waste Management Inc and Puran Brothers Disposal Inc, the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) yesterday voiced its concern over the potential impact of the situation on the health and the lives of the citizenry.
“WPA believes that, notwithstanding the fact that there has been an announcement from the Town Clerk’s office of an agreement with a number of small contractors who will be collaborating with the Council’s waste collection department to address the situation, residents of Georgetown and its environs are very worried about the possible negative impact to their health as a result of the approach of the Council’s administrators to payment of garbage collectors,” the party said in a statement issued yesterday.
“WPA calls on Central Government to take immediate steps to ensure the safety, health and wellbeing of citizens of Georgetown in this period of grave uncertainty engendered by the inability of the Council to deal with the problem,” it added.
