Cleaning House: Deadline Approaches

Residents are urged to use the remaining weeks of February to rid themselves of accumulated debris by placing it on the roadside for easy collection. The public is also urged to examine contractor agreements to ensure they include a removal service. Owners of vacant lots or commercial establishments, condominium or apartment strata are responsible for the removal of their own debris.

This was the word from CIRO’s Operations Manager Mark Scotland, who nevertheless urged everyone to step up the debris clearing to take advantage of MC Restoration’s processing arrangements.

“Anyone can use the temporary MC Restoration dumping sites when hauling debris. That way all waste will be processed instead of accumulating at the landfill,” Mr. Scotland concluded.

MC Restoration is expected to wrap up the waste removal aspect of its contract by the end of February. The processing of debris will continue until dumping sites have been fully restored to their original condition.

Although daily cleanups in Bodden Town and George Town end today (Friday, 18 February), people in this area should still schedule pickups at specific locations by calling 916-2625. Meanwhile, routine pick up continues in East End and North Side.
