The garbage that is piling up in residential communities of the city is the result of the new collectors not being familiar with the layout of the communities, a source at the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) said.
Yesterday, unemptied receptacles lined some streets in areas such as Kitty, Subryanville and North Cummingsburg, creating an obnoxious scene. During a drive around, an acrid stench from receptacles was in the air.
According to the source, the garbage collection schedule has been out of order for at least a day and the Solid Waste Management Department is working to get the schedule on track.
