City garbage collection under control – Solid Waste Director

The garbage collection in the city is under control, according to Solid Waste Director Walter Narine.

Providing an update to the City Council at yesterday’s statutory meeting, Narine said the city has been able to collect garbage in every community at least once per week and it is working to improve its delivery of service.

Narine explained that workers from his department and the newly hired private contractors have been working three shifts to clean up the city. He explained that in areas where garbage has piled up, they would immediately dispatch a team to remove the garbage.
