Truck troubles reduce rubbish collection
(CNS): The twice weekly garbage collection from residential premises on Grand Cayman is being reduced to one a week as a result of mechanical problems with the department of environmental health’s trucks. Officials said both residential and commercial garbage collection services have been affected due to the on-going problems and stated that commercial customers who normally see collection on a more frequent basis will also experience delays in the services. The Department of Vehicle and Equipment Services (DVES) is reportedly working to have the trucks back in operation but it is not clear what the difficulties are or if the problems are down to government cuts.
The DEoH apologized to customers and emphasised that efforts were being made to get back to normal and improve the collection services. Officials confirmed that the Sister Islands collection services are unaffected and operating as normal.
