A release from the Ministry of Communities said that the contracts totalling $131M will also cover waste profile studies of the three communities, recommendations for resource recovery and recycling programmes.

Approximately 70,000 residents in four municipalities and one Neighbourhood Democratic Council are expected to benefit from these modern waste disposal facilities.
