(ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA JOINS THE REST OF THE WORLD IN OBSERVING WORLD RECYCLING DAY)

The Ministry of Health, Wellness, Environment and Civil Service Affairs joins the global community in observing World Recycling Day today, in collaboration with the National Solid Waste Management Authority.

This observance highlights the importance of improving how waste is managed, protecting the environment, and encouraging more responsible practices at both the individual and community levels. It also serves as a reminder of the role each citizen can play in reducing waste and maintaining cleaner surroundings.

Minister of Health, Wellness, Environment and Civil Service Affairs, Sir Molwyn Joseph, emphasized the importance of collective responsibility, stating, “Recycling is not just an environmental practice; it is a national responsibility that requires the participation of every citizen in safeguarding the future of Antigua and Barbuda.”

He further noted, “Through strong partnerships and sustained public engagement, we can build a culture of environmental responsibility that supports both our people and our planet.”

This observance also aligns with the ongoing national clean-up campaign being undertaken by the National Solid Waste Management Authority. The Ministry encourages residents to participate where possible by joining or organizing community and household clean-up efforts to help keep their surroundings clean and healthy.

The Ministry remains committed to working with partners to strengthen public awareness and promote practical steps toward improved waste management across Antigua and Barbuda.

  1. This is nice. It would be awesome if we had a tire recycling plant here. We have an abundance of used tires and a need for usable roads.
    One of the uses of tire recycling is that it produces materials that can be used for road construction and the covering of athletic tracks.

  3. Yes we recycle by throwing out garbage in the street while driving or walking. Every time I see the guys from sold waste cutting you see bottles, cans, plates, kFC boxes- name it and it’s there. We need to educate our people starting with the kindergarten children. Santiago Chile was once the dirtiest city in the world. The government set out an education plan stating with the children. Today it is the clearest city in the world. Once we were conscious of our surroundings in terms of cleanliness. That was when we use to sweep our yards with broom broom. We were poor but clean. Today we are busy getting rich. We need to get back to basics. We don’t need to be part of no world Recycling day to recycle or world health day to eat healthy. Remember sing this song at school- bits of paper, bits of paper, laying on the floor, make the place untidy, makes the place untidy, pick them up , pick them up . That we sang and do while I was in kindergarten.
