The government is set to overhaul the Litter Warden Programme amid public criticism over its visibility and effectiveness in tackling illegal dumping across Antigua and Barbuda.

Director of Communications in the Office of the Prime Minister, Maurice Merchant, said the initiative is being “completely revitalised” to improve accountability and on-the-ground impact.
“People are asking, ‘Where are they? Do we have any?’” Merchant said. “Steps are being taken to ensure wardens are properly trained, equipped, and deployed where they are most needed.”
The wardens play a key role in monitoring communities, identifying dump sites and reporting offenders, but residents have complained that few are seen in action.
Merchant said the reforms will strengthen coordination with agencies such as the National Solid Waste Management Authority and the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force, which leads the national cleanup campaign.
He added that the move forms part of a wider effort to improve enforcement, data collection and public education on environmental protection.

We really need to get serious about this litter thing. It is not uncommon to see residents throw a bottle or a piece if paper on the ground even when a litter bin is within their reach. It’s a bad and disgusting habit that we have allowed to grow without any consequences over the years. We must therefore have laws with teeth if we are to change this mindset. Litter wardens must be empowered to act without fear or favour and with integrity. I am respectfully requesting that National Solid Waste upgrade their signage and information islandwide and please use this:
ANTIGUAS BEAUTY IS OUR DUTY. LET US ALL STOP LITTERING.
Trupz.
Make the penalty disproportionate to the cost to the govt. There is no ethical reason for anyone not to put rubbish in the bin. 1000+ dollars per piece of litter. It will discourage any sane person from littering and also fund any goverment measures to clean up
