The Dominica Solid Waste Management Corporation (DSWMC) is strongly advising the public to cease all illegal waste disposal activities on on Cochrane Road.
We acknowledge there are temporary disruptions to the collection schedule, but we are actively working to resolve them and will have the situation under control shortly.
We are asking for your patience and cooperation during this period. It is crucial to be health-conscious and understand the significant risks associated with illegal dumping.
STOP the illegal dumping immediately. Improper disposal creates public health hazards.
- Practice Source Separation: Always sort your waste at the source (your home or business). Separating waste streams helps manage volume and reduces the attractiveness of refuse to vectors.
- Prevent Vector Infestation: By failing to properly contain and manage unsorted waste, you are creating an environment for rodents, rats, maggots, and scavenging animals to multiply and spread refuse, posing a severe threat to public sanitation and health.
