Garbage being collected in all city wards – Narine

Garbage being picked up in Thomas Street, Georgetown on Thursday.

Although residents in several city wards continue to complain about the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) not sticking to its new garbage collection schedule, Solid Waste Management Director Walter Narine has said that pick-ups would have been done in every area.

“…Some early and some in the afternoons. Three shifts are employed, from 4 am to 8 am, 8 am to 2 pm and 2pm to 10pm,” Narine told Stabroek News on Thursday.

In a press statement on Thursday, City Hall said that over the last week the council collected more than 1,703 tonnes of garbage from neighborhoods in Georgetown.
