Report illegal dumping to Corporation

“Give us a vehicle number, give us the residents’ names so we can serve them with papers and fine them.

We have done by-laws that are going through the process now to be proclaimed where we are going to demand that every resident have animal proof bins attached to their property,” Christopher said.

“The residents themselves are throwing garbage on the ground and you do this. We are going to continue monitoring the bin in the area.” Christopher was responding to claims made by Haig Street residents who called on the corporation to remove two garbage bins from the area. She said that last weekend the corporation removed 152 loads of garbage out of the region.

“Last weekend we did a major clean-up within the Carenage area, we worked on Friday from 3 pm until one the following morning. Ten am on Saturday till midnight and 10 am on Sunday until three o’clock Monday morning.” Christopher continued, “We have tried to educate the residents as to when to put out their garbage because it is only picked-up three times a week.

Somehow residents are not complying with the days the garbage is supposed to be put out and 95 percent of the time they are dumping garbage on the ground after hours when we do not have litter wardens and public health officers out.”
