A spokesperson said, “The delays are a direct result of the challenges with securing critical parts due to supply chain issues and difficulty obtaining overseas specialist support. Teams are working as swiftly as possible to return the vehicles to service.

“Members of the public are encouraged to use the Tynes Bay public drop-off for the disposal of household waste, recycling, hazardous materials such as paints and pesticides, and bulky items.

“Recycling will follow the 2022 Garbage and Recycling Schedule and be collected this week on Thursday in the West and on Friday in the East.”

    The PLP Government cannot keep the buses running or the trash trucks running.

    I am amazed that the civil service keeps running.

      It was the same generation of people every time that vote for them. As I was told by one plp voter “I would rather be robbed by own than by the white man” my response was ” I would rather not be robbed by anyone ” They have no actual reason for voting most don’t even know who is in the party and who isn’t.

    Simple Solution: the same way they utilized Mini Buses for transporting. They can utilize dump trucks for collecting the garbage. After all a lot of these truck owners/operators are also looking for work.

      What? Give money to hard-working Bermudians? That could empower the people and weaken the stranglehold of the PLP Government! Never!!!
