    Now 5.30am Tuesday, and no sign of any announcement for east end trash collection today, when allegedly trash has to be put out by 7am. Come on Bda Goveernment get your act together. All that is going to happen is trash will be put out a) in the regular places on all roads or b) dumped any old where.

    Belco are making sterling efforts post-storm. Where is the Government’s most basic information?
