Puran Brothers Disposal Inc and Cevons Waste Management have withdrawn their garbage collection services from Georgetown due to the failure of the cash-strapped Mayor and City Council (M&CC) to meet its financial commitments to the two companies, which are owed in excess of $300 million.
The M&CC yesterday admitted that although it had reached an agreement with the two companies earlier in the year for the City Treasurer to focus on payment of the current accounts while working out a strategy to settle the outstanding debts for 2016, its limited financial resources resulted in a payment delay on the two contractors’ accounts for 2017.
