Free Horticultural Waste Dumping This Weekend
The Ministry is encouraging the public to trim back any overhanging trees on their own properties and is reminding people that Marsh Folly will be open this weekend [Saturday July 24 and Sunday 25], from 7.30am to 4.00pm for the free dumping of any horticultural waste.
A Government spokesperson said, “The Ministry of Public Works is reminding the public that this weekend [July 24 and 25], teams from the Departments of Parks, Works and Engineering, the Royal Bermuda Regiment [RBR] and the Bermuda Electric Light Company Ltd. [BELCO], will be conducting extensive tree trimming works in the South Shore Road Southampton and Warwick areas.
“In that regard those travelling along South Shore road over the weekend are encouraged to exercise patience while these works are underway.
“As a reminder, the Ministry announced a joint initiative by members of the Emergency Measures Organization [EMO]. The teams will be cutting back trees in various areas around the island to prevent damage in the event of a hurricane or severe storm.
“The Ministry is also encouraging the public through this initiative to take the opportunity to safely trim back any overhanging trees on their own properties.
“To that end, Marsh Folly will be open this weekend [Saturday July 24 and Sunday 25], from 7.30am to 4.00pm for the free dumping of any horticultural waste.
“BELCO is also reminding the public that it is important to be safe while trimming your trees. It is critically important to remember to call BELCO if you are trimming trees within 10 feet of a power line to arrange for the power to be disconnected.”
