Contractor Puran Brothers Disposal Inc. has been unable to deploy garbage trucks for collection in Georgetown due to the closure of the Demerara Harbour Bridge to traffic.
With garbage piling up around Georgetown, Mayor Ubraj Narine is appealing to citizens to exercise patience.
Puran Brothers, one of the city’s main garbage collectors, operates from the West Demerara. Due to the bridge being non-functioning on Monday and subsequently closed to heavy-laden vehicles, following an accident early on Monday morning, the company has not been able to execute its contracted duties.
