Disposal and control of garbage during Christmas

It’s the Christmas season, a time of joy and laughter and reuniting with love ones. It’s a time of giving and sharing.

During this time of the year it’s very important how we disposed and control our garbage.

Here are a few tips to assist you during your festive celebration
– Use reusable washable canvas bags on trips, picnic, site seeing, and going to work instead of paper bags.

– Use reusable containers instead of plastic wraps and foil

– Take along with you on outing washable mugs instead of paper or plastic cups

– Keep all garbage in bins properly covered to prevent rodents from getting in.

– Keep all garbage in your backyard well secured until the day of garbage collection

– Avoid throwing disposable food containers in ravines, abandon sites, out of the windows of vehicles wait until you get home.

– Dispose of your kitchen waste in an appropriate manner to prevent odors and attracting rodents and domestic animals.

– Be the sanitation officer that ensures the environment is kept clean.

Remember your health is your responsibility .Let us keep our surroundings, villages and town clean as we celebrate and have a merry Christmas.

    It is appauling to see how people just indescriminately through their paper cups, KFC boxes, straws, napkins on the street without thinking twice. It is like a natural reaction. When is this going to stop!!!! We need to stop arresting people when they dirty the streets. Let them dirty their homes and leave people streets clean. Uneducated nasty fools!!

    Why say ‘avoid’ it should be a much stronger warning such as ‘DO NOT’….. Avoid implies you have a choice, which is why we have such a terrible problem with rubbish all over the place.

    Did you see the new book written by the Pope, stating that December 25 is not the birth of the Savior and Messiah? He stated that this date was adopted from the pagans who worshipped the reurn of the SUN after the winter solitice.
    See jereiah 10:2.

    This should be an everyday message not just for Christmas. It’s time that people become more responsible when it comes to their surrounding.
