THE MINISTRY of Local Government and Regional Development has announced that the sanitary landfill facility at Haags Bosch, East Bank Demerara, will officially go into operation from Tuesday. As such, all drivers of vehicles transporting garbage to this new site are being asked to do so in such manner as to avoid littering the streets en route to the site.
Access to the facility is through the new access road leading to the site, which is at the boundary of Eccles and Bagotstown, E.B.D.
Drivers are asked to proceed along this road before stopping at the gate alongside the Industrial Site, where they will be given further instructions.
All private contractors and businesses are also advised that the dumping of garbage at the Le Repentir Site will cease with effect from Tuesday.
The Ministry also advises that until further notice, no tipping fees will be charged. (GINA)
