If you do not have sufficient bins, you will have an issue of littering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mitchel went on to state that the whole issue of waste separation is a process that the corporation is trying to inculcate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He indicated that one recognizes that on an island as small as Dominica landfill space is very rare and the cost implication of building another landfill may be in the region of 20 plus million dollars.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat is why one of the strategies of the Dominica Solid Waste Corporation is that of waste diversion,\u201d Mitchell explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He continued, \u201cWe have recognized the need to partner, not just with local stakeholders, but also that of regional institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mitchel said Dominica has done a lot where recycling is concerned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat we have noticed is Dominica is the only island in the region that has a fully functional, everyday [garbage] collection,\u201d Mitchel noted. \u201cThat is not done anywhere else in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, Mitchel revealed that the DSWMC has installed more than 25 bins in the City of Roseau and plans to install another 25 soon, in order to greatly enhance the infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to him, as of 2020, the DSWMC has distributed more than 1700 residential bins to varying communities, \u00a0and over 200 recycling crates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"General Manager of the Dominica Solid Waste Management Corporation (DSWMC), Florian Mitchel has revealed that up-to-date, a total of 2100 derelict vehicles have been removed across Dominica after embarking on a campaign in 2017.
