Enforcement officers from the National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) will be deployed during Carnival to ensure compliance with garbage collection regulations.
The enforcement is part of measures being implemented at this year’s staging of Carnival to prevent a recurrence of last year’s garbage pile-up.
Regional Operations Manager for MPM Waste Management, Jermaine Jones said Carnival organisers have been urged to make the necessary arrangements for garbage collection.
They are also being warned that any breach will result in penalties.
Penalties include being issued a ticket and fined.
