– Haags Bosch preparations advancingThe Mandela/Le Repentir landfill site,Bojan Bogdanovic Nets Jersey, according to City Mayor Hamilton Green’s description,Marvin Williams Hornets Jersey, is ‘ugly’ and the cemetery ‘is a disgrace’. He said that there is need for more respect for the dead.If all goes well the capital city may be rid of the Mandela and Le Repentir Dumpsite by August, given that works are progressing at the Haags Bosch landfill site, east of Eccles.Mayor Hamilton Green and Solid Waste Director Hubert Urlin Such is the report from Mayor Green and Solid Waste Management Director,Authentic Paul Millsap Hawks Jersey, Hubert Urlin,Authentic Wesley Matthews Mavericks Jersey, when they addressed the media on Friday.But even with this great news for residents of Lodge,Tracy McGrady USA Jersey, Wortmanville and other wards south of the current ‘solid waste of time’ and ‘environmentally unfriendly’ site,Authentic Marcus Morris Pistons Jersey, there are no guarantees just yet that the days of spontaneous combustions and smoke are at an end.Mayor Green said that at present the site has no major security from litter pickers’ et al,Kyle Korver Hawks Swingman Jersey, because of the council’s limited human resources which ultimately resulted from the repetitious financial woes spoken of ad nauseum.He said that using their resources,Authentic Harrison Barnes Mavericks Jersey, several people are at the site and will swing into action should any further fires erupt and that there are other staffers on stand by to treat with the inevitable should they recur.The litter pickers have their value but there remains the issue of fire starters such as the mentally ill who might decide to light fires unmindful of the dangers and ripple effects on thousands in the environs.Mayor Green expressed the council’s hope that the landfill site will be closed soon, even as he pointed to the fact that capping of two parts is already completed stemming the tide of combustions in the locations closer to Mandela Avenue.Urlin reported that in excess of $40M is needed to cap another six acres of the current site. He informed that a contract has been signed with BK International and Puran Brothers to develop Haag Bosch.He said that the roadway has been cleared at that location where works are progressing under the guidance of Walter Willis.Once the Haags Bosch site is completed, its aim would be to strengthen the oversight capacity of the Municipal Solid Waste Management Department of the Municipality of Georgetown and improve collection logistics and cost recovery in Georgetown and the NDCs.Further, it will raise public awareness within Georgetown and the NDCs for better management of solid waste among households, industries, commerce,Patrick Ewing USA Jersey, etc. |
