LOCAL Government and Regional Development Minister, Nigel Dharamlall, on Tuesday, led discussions on the pending Solid Waste Management Bill and the pace of implementation of works at the Haags Bosch Landfill Site with his staffers of the Sanitation Management Unit.

Sanitation Management Unit is headed by Gordon Gilkes who is supported by a team of engineers.

The general purpose of the meeting was to apprise the staffers of any change in policy directives and to provide guidance on current challenges.

“The minister said that he was looking forward to site visits to all regions with a view to identifying possible landfill sites and where these exist to improve their capacity. The team was instructed to include proposals for the disposal of derelict vehicles into their sector report to the minister,” a release from the ministry said.
