Garbage collection will take place as planned in Roseau but will be suspended elsewhere today, the Dominica Solid Waste Management Corporation is reporting.
Certain communities have been declared impassable because of landslides brought on by heavy rainfall.
“Our employees themselves are from some of these areas and they are unable to come to work at this time and those who are in the area, are operating on the schedules in the city for today,” said Landfill manager Marcus Francis.
An announcement will be made later as to when operations outside of the city will resume.
Dominicans are being asked to keep their garbage secure until then.
Sometimes we tend to wait for something worst to happen before we act on it. Like this time we wait for the heavy rainfall then landslide after to act on our garbage.
Each one of us should practice proper waste disposal and management so as to stop our problem in garbage.
make a compost heap for your bio-degradeable stuff and burn the rest help save the environment too!!!!!!!!!!!!!earth depends on all of us.
if all you cannot pay for the truck ask the gouvernment that their problem also
I believe each village should have a gabbage truck so it , would be easier for solid waste workers to do their jobs when you telling me a truck have to leave mahault and come ST.jOSEPH to collect gabbage
Rain or Sun garbage Collecting is always suspended
BNVB
