On May 3rd the Mayor and the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry(GCCI) signed a memorandum of understanding to deal with key areas such as rates and taxes and the ever growing garbage problems in the city. Today May 11 this is the state of just one area in King street.The planning and implementation of systems to deal with solid waste disposal will surely phase in but in the mean time people should face penalties for this blatant disregard of our city streets. The issue is compounded by the homeless who just dump their refuse along the roadways. The solid waste department at City Hall provided heavy duty disposal bins at key business hubs in the city which helped but with the amount of garbage they overflow. The timely disposal of these bins was also an issue which prompted several intervention. However businesses and people along these busy spots are dumping their garbage on the road despite the not so strict littering laws in place.
