(CMR) The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) on Tuesday sought to remind Cayman residents that some items, including construction materials and derelict vehicles, would not be collected as part of its annual bulk waste removal activity.
The DEH annual exercise which began on Monday, and is expected to run until December 21, is aimed at helping residents dispose of large items such as, old furniture, household appliances and vegetative waste that are not collected as part of the DEH’s weekly residential pick-up services.
According to DEH, not all waste can be put in the same truck, therefore the department requests that metals and vegetative waste are separated before collections.
As for derelict vehicles and construction and demolition debris, the DEH does not have equipment to pick up such materials from the roadside therefore these will not be collected during the bulk waste removal activity.
The DEH noted that those wishing to get rid of items not collected during the bulk waste removal exercise can make contact with the department directly, noting that alternative arrangement can be made, which may attract a fee of up to to CI $80.
“DEH work to provide these collections alongside normal operations so we ask that bulk waste items are not put out after scheduled dates as this could affect regular collections. We are happy to provide this annual service to the community and appreciate their efforts to comply with the collection measures for the ease and safety of our crew,” said Mr Michael Haworth – Assistant Director, Solid Waste.
