The Solid Waste Department of the Georgetown municipality is aiming to streamline garbage collection in large communities in a bid to conserve its resources.
Director of Solid Waste Walter Narine told Stabroek News last week that since the city took charge of garbage collection, it has been collecting in different sections of large communities, such as Kitty, Campbellville, and North and South Cummingsburg, on multiple days. He said that the department is now in the process of mapping out a way in which they can collect garbage from an entire area on one scheduled day.
“Yesterday, we tried it in North and South Cummingsburg and we were able to collect garbage from that area, which is a big one, in a morning,” he pointed out while explaining that they previously collected garbage in that ward every Wednesday and Thursday.
