E’bo to get two new landfill sites
While on a visit to Region Two yesterday, Minister within the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development, Norman Whittaker, told vendors at Charity, that two landfill sites are soon to become operational on the Essequibo Coast.
He indicated that two sites have already been identified.
According to Whittaker, bids have been circulating in the newspapers and so far, three prospective contractors have already shown interest in collecting garbage from homes on the Coast, stretching from Charity to Supenaam.

Whittaker said that because markets were recognised as one of the most significant contributory factors for the disposal of solid waste, the initiative to establish landfill sites, especially on the Coast, was aimed at regularising the poor practice of disposal by residents.
Whittaker stressed that systems are already in place to penalise residents for dumping garbage anywhere and everywhere.
At present, the Anna Regina Town Council collects garbage at a cost of $200 and $300 per bag.
