The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) has announced the closure of its temporary sites from incoming vegetation waste, starting with the West Bay Site which will be closed on Saturday September 11, 2021.
The last day to drop vegetation debris at the temporary site located in Prospect will be September 18, 2021. Meanwhile, the other three temporary sites located in Bodden Town, East End and North Side will cease operations on Saturday September 25, 2021. Following these closure dates, persons are expected to take any materials to the George Town landfill.
DEH Director, Richard Simms said that “the cooperation from members of the public has been great and continue to be critical to ensure the efficiency and success in the operation of the temporary vegetation debris sites. Our staff members have also been working long hours to complete this clean-up exercise. Now is time to redirect our efforts to the ordinary operations of the department as we prepare for the annual Bulk Waste Collection, which traditionally take place before the Christmas season.”
The George Town Landfill operates from 7:00am to 5:00pm on weekdays, until 1:00pm on Saturday and it is closed on Sunday. However, the landfill drop-off facility at the gate will remain accessible for the public and small vehicles 24 hours per day.
The DEH is also reminding residents of the importance of no smoking at the debris site in order to prevent bush fires.
