Garbage Collection
Dear Editor,
I am aware that the Anguilla Government amended its trash collection schedule in a cost savings effort. Although I applaud the Government for exploring methods to control spending, I do not believe the abbreviated schedule is working as intended. Trash containers are overflowing days prior to pick up and the island is still over a month away from the high season.
The trash situation is not only unsightly but unhealthy. Rats, flies, animals and fowls are raiding the containers. This is a serious health concern that needs the immediate attention of the Government officials responsible for the health and welfare of the island.
