City Hall Should Monitor the Activities of the Waste Disposal Companies

Oct 19, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
Reference is made to the two photographs, that I took on October 17 and the other on October 18.
Back in September, I came up upon two vehicles, belonging to a particular waste disposal company, about to deposit their cargo at this exact location, along the Houston bypass, just after 8:00 pm. When I challenged the truck operators, they contended that “City Hall” instructed them to deposit their cargo at this spot. I asked for the name of the City Hall official who gave them that instruction, but they just insisted that it was “City Hall.”  They assured me that they would desist from doing that. Photographs with the two trucks at the site were sent to the Town Clerk, M&CC.
From the photographic evidence (of October 17 and 18), it is clear that someone continued to use this area as a dump site. Perhaps that’s their understanding of what’s written on the billboard.
I would, therefore, like to appeal to the agency that hires these companies, to prevail upon them to desist from depositing their refuse along the public thoroughfare.
Maybe City Hall would want to stop going after the ordinary citizens, and take its “name and shame” campaign to those who “move Guyana’s waste” only to dump it back in the public’s face.
