The Sanitation Service Authority (SSA) is cautioning promoters and stall operators to ensure waste generated at events this Crop Over season is disposed of in a legal, safe and timely manner.Public Relations Officer for the SSA Carl Padmore told Barbados TODAY the agency has already noticed a worrying trend in which some private haulers were dumping garbage at illegal sites although they had been paid to take it to the approved dump.He said the shortcuts being taken by waste haulers were making life difficult for the SSA which has to clear the illegal dump sites.“We are cautioning promoters of private events, if [you] are paying a hauler to remove waste from your property or where the event is being held, it is your duty to ensure that that said waste goes to the Mangrove Pond Landfill in Vaucluse,” Padmore said.
