The garbage collection system in Linden, which for a long time had been severely challenged by inadequate equipment, was recently boosted with the purchase of two new compactor trucks at a cost of some $7M.The trucks were purchased from funds released for the 2009 $10M subvention.Town clerk, Patrick Inniss, is advising persons to equip themselves with some kind of garbage receptacle so that pick up by the trucks would be easier.Inniss said that by law each residence or business place should have receptacles for their garbage. He noted that if this is done, apart from alleviating the stress of garbage collection by the municipality, the town would be a much cleaner place.For a long time, certain locations in Linden, especially areas around the Mackenzie Market and the Linden/Georgetown bus park, have become virtual dumping grounds.Many vendors and market stallholders dump their refuse around these areas indiscriminately, with the result that cows and other animals have ‘field days’ rummaging through the stinking piles.Another popular dumping ground for refuse is none other than the much touted ‘river front’, which is the area around Co-op Crescent, a facility converted from a former ‘shanty town’ which was dotted with make shift stalls and a nauseating garbage heap, to the present facility by the Linden Economic Advancement Fund.While the present River Front is a far cry from what it used to be, judging from the scant respect shown by some persons who throw their refuse over the rails,Adrian Wilson Cardinals Jersey, it won’t be long before the area is transformed into a huge dumpsite.And these perpetrators unashamedly contend that there are no garbage receptacles in the area.However this was not always the case, as when the river front was first established several refuse receptacles were placed at strategic points, with signs that advised persons to ‘pop it, don’t drop it’!Even the benches that were later installed have this admonishment conspicuously displayed on the backs.These receptacles were however stolen or damaged,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, according to Town clerk,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Outlet, Patrick Inniss, who said that the council is now looking at ways to have them replaced.The consensus among concerned residents,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, was that the receptacles had better be replaced sooner rather than later,NFL Jerseys Outlet, as any build up of garbage along the riverfront,would present a huge challenge for the municipality.This was confirmed by a senior official of the council who said that cleaning the riverfront, proves to be quite a challenge for workers,Jerseys Cheap NFL, who have to skip huge boulders and contend with the tide.Informed sources have indicated that the municipality currently has a few persons before the courts for littering. This was confirmed by the council official, who further declared that any person found guilty of this offence will likewise be placed before the courts. (Enid Joaquin)
