Sav’s mayor says PRF must only be used for drain cleaning
WESTERN BUREAU: collected the year before,” said Moore. “From December, we didn’t receive any special draincleaning funds, but as a council, we are trying our best to clean what we can. We get what we called the PRF every month and we try to use that to the best of our ability to clean the drains.”
The mayor also expressed unhappiness with the attitude of residents as it relates to poor disposal practices, noting that they should not throw garbage in the gullies and on the streets.
“Residents have a part to play. It is time that we understand that the more plastic bottles, food boxes you throw in the drains, it’s the more the drains are blocked up. It is time we understand that, especially some of the drivers and passengers,” said Moore.
“All you see are plastic bottles and juices boxes. It’s time, as Jamaicans, that we adopt some of the best practices from our international partners, their way of life, where if you are caught throwing an orange juice box on the street in Canada, for example, you are charged,” added Moore.
