Garbage trucks back on the job

-

Various garbage companies have deployed their garbage trucks again. The garbage collection services are back on track now that the Ministry of Public Works has restructur­ed the garbage collection system. All of the companies were given a 1-year contract that can’t be extended. After a year there will be an evaluation. If the ministry approves of the services of the contractor, the company will be given the opportunit­y to participat­e in the next round of call for tenders. Another goal of the 1-year contracts is to give everybody the opportunit­y to do this work. If a contractor fails to fulfill his task, the contract is terminated at once. The ministry will beef up inspection­s to keep an eye on these companies. People who want to complain about the garbage collection service in their area can call 531491 or send a message via WhatsApp to 8558209.
