Huge piles of garbage in parts of the city

North Road and Alexander Sts

The non-collection of garbage and delayed service has resulted in heaps of refuse waiting to be disposed of in parts of the city.

Stabroek News visited the southeastern corner of Alexander Street and North Road yesterday and witnessed a large, unsightly pile of garbage (likely the result of a clean-up effort) dumped on the roadside. Vendors in the area, who all wished to remain anonymous, complained that “the scent is really affecting us and we would love for it to be cleaned up before the week is out. When asked how long the garbage has been there, they responded that it has been there for several weeks.
