Contractor resumes city garbage collection

The city garbage collection schedule has returned to a state of normalcy according to Mayor and City Council’s Public Relations Officer Debra Lewis.

Lewis yesterday told Stabroek News that they resumed collection on Wednesday night and have been able to get back in line with the collection schedule. She stated that since the trucks from Puran Brothers Disposal arrived in the city yesterday afternoon, they have been working.

Puran Brothers Disposal Inc, one of the city’s contracted garbage collectors, had been unable to collect garbage in the city since Monday after damage to the Demerara Harbour Bridge prevented its trucks from crossing.
