Garbage Collection Completed In East End
The Ministry of Public Works is advising residents that collection crews completed the Eastern zones today [Aug 13] and garbage collection in the Western zones will resume on a normal schedule tomorrow [Aug 14].
A spokesperson said, “The Ministry was successful in deploying a full crew to address the backlog in the Eastern zones with assistance provided through the additional manpower obtained by personnel from the Highways section.
“The Ministry wishes to apologize for the inconvenience caused by the garbage collection delay and thanks residents for their patience and will be working to ensure garbage collection remains on schedule going forward.”

Your dealing with the Bee Eye Yoo.
Hello………….
May I extend my / our sincere thank you to all who’d made it possible…A great part of of the problem is, “many trucks are far too small”. This is something that needs to be dealt with…The larger vehicles did the work for years, and may I say adequately, all that was required of the public was to carry their garbage out to the main roads if their roadway was / is to narrow for big trucks.
Remember, the big trucks don’t have to keep running back to Tynes Bay Facility to off load to only then turn around and get back to where they’d left off so they can continue on. This is consuming far too much fuel as well as man hours. So please devise a new and improved system to collect peoples garage
The problem is Ray’ – Big Trucks cost money – and were running out of it very fast. – Bigger Trucks is 5-6 years away.
possibly longer.
Do they want a pat on the back for completing work…late?
The whole Trash problem comes from lack of planning,and vision – those in charge should have known were when and how
what will happen both Socially and politically if the trash is not dealt with in a proper manor and method.
But like anything else Trashgate it will come to pass.
So why has mine been sitting outside for over a week then if it is completed?
I live east.
This service is going the way of the post office, I’ve noticed that if your trash bags get attacked by chickens / cats whilst waiting to be picked up they leave it because the trash ‘isn’t secured’……. kind of like not delivering your mail because your post code wasn’t correct. We need a complete overhaul of this service to make it serve the public’s needs not the unions.
How do you suggest that this cuold be done without the control of the biu ?
