THE ST Thomas Municipal Corporation has moved to address long-standing complaints by residents of Leith Hall and Airy Castle about inefficient garbage collection.
“We are here today to witness the completion of the garbage receptacles, one in Leith Hall and one in Airy Castle.
These communities, over the years, have been raising the issue about the lack of garbage collection on a timely basis,” Morant Bay Mayor Michael Hue told The Gleaner.
“What we have provided for these communities are holding areas, that if the trucks don’t come on time, there is a facility that the people can use to dispose their household garbage until collection day, and that when the truck comes, there is easy access for them,” Hue said.
In addition to the garbage holding areas, the St Thomas Municipal Corporation also spearheaded the completion of a bus stop in Prospect.
