The Dominica Solid Waste Management Corporation (DSWMC) has announced a significant upgrade to the country’s waste management infrastructure. In a press release, the DSWMC said that four brand-new compactor trucks were delivered to the Corporation at the end of October. This addition to the fleet represents a pivotal development in enhancing solid waste collection services across the island, stated the organization.<\/p>\n

This investment directly addresses what it describes as previous operational challenges faced by the DSWMC in maintaining consistent and timely waste collection schedules. The new high-capacity vehicles are expected to substantially increase the Corporation\u2019s efficiency in managing the growing volume of waste generated by households and commercial entities. By strengthening logistical capacity, the initiative aims to translate this into \u00a0“a healthier, and
\nmore visually appealing environment for all citizens is not just an aspiration but a tangible reality.”<\/p>\n

The DSWMC also expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit and the government for “prioritizing the waste management sector and delivering on this commitment made at the 2025\/2026 national budget address.”<\/p>\n

As outlined in the press statement, preparations are underway for a formal handing-over ceremony, during which the new compactor trucks will be officially commissioned into service. Details regarding the event will be shared with the public in the near future.<\/p>\n

The DSWMC also stated that it encourages citizens and communities to continue their efforts in source sorting and proper containerization of waste and recyclables, as the new resources are integrated into the island\u2019s waste management system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dominica Solid Waste Management Corporation (DSWMC) has announced a significant upgrade to the country’s waste management infrastructure.
