| AG, Que Pasa Con PASA? | | Mon, January 16, 2017 | | 
Peyrefitte also gave us some insight in the court proceedings between PASA, the Mexican company that was responsible for moving waste from transfer stations to the regional landfill on Mile 24, and the Belize Solid Waste Management Authority. As has been reported, PASA abruptly ceased operations and abandoned the landfilling, leaving transfer stations piling up with garbage.

"The matter involving BSWMA (Belize Solid Waste Management Authority) and PASA, the whole sanitary landfill situation we were told by personnel from BSWMA that it was under review from the legal advisor in the ministry of natural resources as well as the attorney general's ministry. You were not aware where that stands?"
Michael Peyrefitte, Attorney General
"I am aware of the proceedings and the analysis of the contract. But we are not finish yet, so I don't want to preempt them by saying anything about it. But we are working on it and I am fully aware of that."
Reporter
"But it's not a case where the government has defaulted in relation to its commitments to PASA? It's the other way around perhaps?"
Michael Peyrefitte, Attorney General
"Government has not defaulted in any way. So if there's been a default, it has to be for the other side. It's not government."
There has still been no word from the Belize Solid Waste Management Authority about who will take up the task of transferring garbage to the landfill.
