Garbage affects Stabroek market vendors
The stench in the area aback of the Fire Service H/Q is unbearable
Vendors on the southern side of the Stabroek Market are up in arms over the presence of a strong stench that is emanating from a broken down garbage truck that is filled with days-old refuse. Some vendors are also reportedly suffering from skin rashes. According to them, several complaints have been made to the Mayor and City Council, but these have all fallen on deaf ears.
The vendors, as well as drivers at the Wales Bus Park, pointed out that there is a garbage truck behind the Guyana Fire Service Headquarters that is releasing the foul air into the atmosphere. The truck was reportedly taken to the area some time last week to collect the garbage and dispose of it, however that was not possible since the vehicle developed mechanical problems.
“This place stink, and nuff fly deh round because of the garbage, it ain’t empty one week now,” stressed one vendor. Many also complained about the increase of flies due to the pile-up.
