Garbage collection in the city is set to return to normality for the holiday season as private contractors Puran Brothers Waste Disposal Inc and Cevons Waste Management Inc will resume their services from today until the end of the year.
The two contractors will no longer be the financial responsibility of City Hall as central government, through the Ministry of Communities, has agreed to accept financial responsibility for the service, Town Clerk Royston King told Sunday Stabroek yesterday.
“Government has liquidated the debt owed by council to the garbage collectors. They have further engaged the contractor to work for the rest of the year to ensure the sanitation of the city,” King said.
