Dismissed garbage contractors appeal to President, private sector

Booted by the city for demanding the over $300 million due to them, long-serving garbage contractors Cevons Waste Management and Puran Brothers have pleaded their case with President David Granger and the Private Sector Commission. The Mayor and City Council “terminated” their contracts last week and entered into agreements with three small contractors without engaging the procurement system or seeking the approval of the duly elected council. City Hall announced on Monday that it along with three small contractors will commence garbage collection following the termination of the contracts which have a lifespan from 2015-2020.
