City Takes A Break From Garbage Collection
posted (August 11, 2016)
And while storm affected persons turn to NEMO and CEMO for material relief, they're asking the city to pick up all the garbage and debris generated by Hurricane Earl. The storm plowed down trees and wrecked household appliances - and someone has to pick all of it up. The city workers have been doing a commendable job, working countless extra hours - but to some extent they have been doing it in vain - because every time they clear a street, then someone else puts out their mess. And that's why at this time, the city is a taking a break from all that garbage. Councilor Willoughby explained today:..

Phillip Willoughby, City Councilor, CEMO
"Encouraging at this time home owners to put out their waste so that we can better and properly coordinate the collection of those waste. I know in our briefing this morning Hon. Anthony Martinez mentioned that there will be a team designated from on his side to deal with the demolition and removal of these homes as well as the property. So that will be observed from that angle through that initiative."

Jules Vasquez
"Are you all taking assesation on the collection of garbage right now so that everybody can synchronize put out their garbage and then scoop it all up next week?"

Phillip Willoughby, City Councilor, CEMO
"Yes well that is why I am using this medium to say just that - kindly put out your waste and the city will have to deal with the removal of those waste."
