Public Works on Trash Collection Delay
The Ministry of Public Works has apologized to members of the public whose garbage was not collected on time and confirmed that the lateness was due a result of the breakdown of a few vehicles.
The Ministry confirmed that all east end garbage has now been collected, and said it is anticipated that garbage from the west end, scheduled for collection today, will be cleared by this evening.
The full statement is below:
The Waste Management Section of the Ministry of Public Works wishes to apologize to members of the public whose garbage was not been collected as scheduled earlier this week.
As a result of the breakdown of a few vehicles, garbage collection in the east end was not completed yesterday. However, we can confirm that all east end garbage has now been collected.
It is anticipated that garbage from the west end, scheduled for collection today, will be cleared by this evening.
The Waste Management Section is working on a new collections schedule that will see garbage collected five days a week rather than four, the current arrangement. The new schedule will lead to operational efficiencies.
Members of the public are reminded to separate their recyclable materials from their household waste and to place tin, aluminum and glass (TAG) into blue bags for collection.
Household waste should also be placed in a plastic bag and should not contain any liquids, sharp objects or animal or human faeces.
For more information on residential waste disposal, please refer to the Blue Pages in the Bermuda Telephone Directory.
