Garbage piles all over the city

Garbage on Broad Street

By Mia Anthony

In various sections of the city, garbage piles and their accompanying foul odour remain a significant concern.

Particularly affected areas include Charlestown and in the vicinity of the Stabroek Market block. During a check yesterday, it was observed by the Sunday Stabroek that the problem extends to the dock area where boats are loaded, as well as the adjacent bus parking area housing numerous food establishments, where garbage was found scattered about. Additionally, upon closer examination of the stelling, it was evident that the area opposite to where passengers embark was heavily contaminated with refuse. Along Broad Street in Charlestown, significant piles of garbage were observed accumulating, including within drainage systems. Similar scenes were noted on streets such as Saffon, Broad and Lombard.
