People Urged To Stop ‘Disgusting Behaviour’
After another incident in which waste collection staff had to deal with “human and animal waste” placed in residential garbage bags, Minister of Public Works Lt/Col David Burch has urged people ”who are engaging in this type of disgusting behaviour to stop.”
A Government spokesperson said, “The Minister of Public Works has issued the following urgent reminder to residents regarding the contents of their trash. The Minister expressed his complete shock and disgust at the depositing of human waste in trash bags placed out for collection this past Tuesday.
Minister Burch said, “We are having increasing incidences where our waste collection staff are finding human and animal waste and other contraband placed in residential garbage bags. This most recent incident occurred at Cedar Hill, Warwick.
“I think the entire community will agree with me that this is not only absolutely unsanitary and abhorrent, but more importantly, it poses a significant health and safety risk to our workers. It’s amazing that we actually have to remind the public not to dispose of human and animal waste via the weekly garbage, but here we are.
“I am urging members of the public who are engaging in this type of disgusting behaviour to stop. Please have some respect for the hard working men and women of our Waste Management Section, who diligently do their jobs daily, often under thankless conditions, simply to ensure that our Island maintains its cleanliness and beauty,” the Minister added.
Minister Burch also advised that the disposal of paints and other hazardous waste items through residential collection is also a rising concern. All of these items can be disposed of – free of charge – at the Tynes Bay Waste to Energy Facility.

Guess they cant flush the toilet, so they say, “Pull out the Hefty!”.
Doesn’t beat the homeless people who poop while standing up against building faces in town. #poochootrain
What about the foulness of what goes on in town by the Arbitrade World Headquaters and around the bus terminal.
Really Mr. Burch–get a grip and deal with all the problem.
The homeless people do their businees all over Hamilton,the Minister should be concerned about this..
Why!
serious question: what is supposed to be done with dirty disposable diapers? don’t they get thrown into the rubbish bin?
Sure, depends too, so guess what is in that nasty, disgusting smelling, bio-hazardous soup that drains out of the trash trucks everywhere they make a pick-up, great way to spread germs and disease.
wow that made squirm really quick good job very descriptive or my imagination is too detailed.
“wow that made squirm really quick good job very descriptive”
Sage is intimately familiar with everything vile and disgusting.
Exactly
Common knowledge that Burch has never had to deal with a diaper and I doubt he has ever had to deal with an indoor cat—-What does he propose that people do with dirty diapers and kitty litter. Again—-no solutions or answers from Burch
We’ll stop our disgusting behavior when you stop yours!
lucky if it was me and i saw that it was u i wound leave it right at your front door.
Wow what a load of Crap !! Too bad it didn’t break in the owners yard !!!
