The Dominica Solid Waste Management Corporation (DSWMC)\u00a0has announced an\u00a0adjustment to the time for accepting white goods, derelict galvanize, and other metal items at the Fond Cole Landfill.<\/p>\n

In a previous announcement last week the DSWMC said these items will be accepted \u00a0from Monday to Friday,\u00a0 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

However, a new announcement issued on Monday stated that the items will now be accepted from Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00p.m.<\/p>\n

White goods typically refer to large household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, stoves, ovens, dishwashers, air conditioners, and water heaters.<\/p>\n

In July of this year, DSWMC Public Relations Officer Rhoda St. John stated that the landfill would not be accepting these items until further notice. This decision followed a fire that broke out at the Fond Cole Landfill on Monday, June 30, resulting in thick smoke affecting parts of the surrounding community.<\/p>\n

During that period, the landfill was limited to accepting only general waste.<\/p>\n

In a previous statement, St. John also urged the public to manage their waste responsibly.<\/p>\n

For more information, the public is advised to call 449-8168 or 616-0035.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
