Georgetown : Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Ganga Persaud disclosed that the ministry has received six expressions of interest from firms that are willing to come on board with the government towards establishing Guyana’s first solid waste recycling plant.
The Minister said that these expressions of interest are at present at the stage of evaluation, and the public will be informed on what decision is taken.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development and Natural Globe Incorporated on November 11, for the establishment of recycling plant in Region Four, however in the wake of certain revelations, Government withdrew the MOU with the firm and the contract was later re-advertised.
The recycling investment is seeking to address the issue of solid waste management, as well as the construction of five transfer stations in Region Four, three on the East Coast of Demerara, and two on the East Bank Demerara.
