GCCI calls out city businesses for improper garbage disposal

Dec 22, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor, 

The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) strongly urges all businesses in Georgetown to adhere to proper garbage disposal methods. The Chamber is extremely concerned about garbage build-up along Regent, Robb, and Charlotte Streets and believes that it is a hazardous practice with severe environmental consequences.

GCCI encourages citizens and business owners to refrain from dumping garbage in the roadways and drains. There must be zero tolerance for individuals and businesses who contribute to littering. The Chamber urges the Mayor and City Council to impose harsher penalties on businesses and
residents who dispose of their garbage indiscriminately. Concurrently, the Chamber requests that the Mayor and City Council acknowledge their responsibility for ensuring timely garbage collection in order to avoid citizens and businesses using non-collection as an excuse for littering and improper disposal. Littering not only negatively impacts the environment, but poses serious health risks that a population of our size cannot afford.

Regards, 

Georgetown Chambers of Commerce
