After days of threats, protest and bitter back and forth in the media - Belize Waste Control and the Belize City Council worked out their difference.
According to information, they settled their differences at a meeting this morning, which included Mayor Darrell Bradley and Anthony Griffith, the owner of Belize Waste Control.
As we understand it no money was paid immediately - but a commitment was made to commence payments next week - and settle all arrears by the first quarter of next year.
With that, Waste Control deployed its garbage trucks on the Southside this afternoon to pick up all that the council missed yesterday. Tomorrow, they will pick up garbage as normal on the northside.
Because of this breakthrough, there was no picketing today.
Waste control had gone on a two day strike because the council's arrears had exceeded half a million dollars and interim payments were not made as promised.
