Efforts by the Government to crack down on litter and illegal dumping in the city is ongoing.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Ministry of the Environment on Sunday installed over 80 garbage bins in and around the city. <\/p>\n

According to Environmental Minister Molwyn Joseph, the traditional plastic drums as garbage bins became an eyesore, especially for visitors.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cBefore we had plastic drums that were used as litter bins. Just imagine you come off the ships and you see a plastic drum that is beaten up, it looks dirty it just doesn\u2019t fit in the aesthetics of what we want to see in the city.\u201d <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The new bins are environmentally friendly and come with two sections, one for recycling materials while the other for general waste. <\/p>\n

Recyclable waste is items such as plastics, papers, and glass and for the general waste items that are degradable. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The cabinet recently made provision for the hiring of 15 new litter wardens.<\/p>\n

Parliament recently passed the Environment Protect and Management Act 2019.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The new law seeks to prevent persons from dumping garbage illegally throughout the length and breadth of Antigua and Barbuda. The reporter can be compensated a percentage of the fine for their information.<\/p>
