Those celebrating Easter Monday in the National Park, on the Kitty seawall and on the East Coast left large amounts of garbage. They dropped any and everything. Yesterday, Stabroek News visited the National Park and staff were observed picking up boxes, plastic, bags, bottles, foodstuff and spoons among other waste. Piles of overflowing garbage bags could be seen in some places while in other areas, garbage was openly scattered all around.
One cleaner, Rupert, told this newspaper “Normally the National Park don’t be like this but it is a norm that every year the Easter activities for it to be this dirty, we need to put a system in place whereby a person would be there to supervise since these persons that are throwing their garbage are disregarding the `Do not litter sign’”.
