DEH urges people to keep island clean

(CNS): Following a month of hard work by many people across the islands to make Cayman look clean and beautiful the Department of Environmental Health (DEH) said that working towards beautiful surroundings is a year-round effort and not just something for October. Residents can do their part to keep things clean and green by constructing proper garbage enclosures; putting lids on garbage cans, keeping their property and helping the elderly members of the community and others needing help to maintain their property, the DEH stated.

Organize neighbourhood clean-ups to target problem areas and reporting illegal dumping and littering to the police will also keep Cayman clean year round. “Every individual can make a difference by committing to a healthier environment,” said DEH Public Education & Promotions Officer Tania Johnson. “Cayman is our home so we should do whatever we can to keep our surroundings clean.”
