The Ministry of Communities has intervened and agreed to pay off a substantial amount owed to Georgetown’s two major garbage contractors and has directed the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) to meet with the contractors to iron out details for their resumption of their services to the capital.
The intervention by the ministry comes two weeks after a call from Cevons Waste Management Inc and Puran Brothers Disposal Inc for the M&CC to settle its debts to them. The companies suspended their services due to the failure of the M&CC to pay them a total of $160 million for the work they have done since June.
