In an effort to deliver efficient garbage collection in the city, the Georgetown City Council is redeploying street orderlies to assist with the garbage collection in the commercial district.

Solid Waste Director Walter Narine said that the system was put in place to allow efficient garbage collection.

Narine explained that with the system in place, they are able to clean the commercial area and get to the Haags Bosch landfill before it closes at 8 pm. The street orderlies have been working in an area bounded by North Road and Charlotte Street.
