The National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) is refuting claims made by George Wehner, the United Progressive Party representative for St. Peters posted on Facebook on Wednesday 4th, 2026 regarding weeks of uncollected garbage.
On that day, collection services in the Seatons/Glanvilles areas experienced delays as a result of one of the Authority’s drivers calling in sick. In order to maintain service, another driver assumed responsibility for completing the scheduled route.
Collection operations began at approximately 1:45 PM and continued until 5:17 PM, at which time operations were suspended because the truck had reached its full capacity. At the time when operations were paused, two roads remained uncollected. These areas were subsequently serviced the following morning.
The Authority recognizes and commends its staff for their continued dedication and professionalism in ensuring that service disruptions are minimized whenever unforeseen circumstances arise.
Situations of this nature can occur in any operational environment, and the Authority remains focused on addressing them promptly and responsibly. The Authority encourages that public discussions on service matters reflect accurate information and constructive engagement in the interest of the communities we serve.
The National Solid Waste Management Authority remains fully committed to executing its responsibilities with the highest standards of performance and accountability.
The truth should always be stated and not sensationalized for political gain.

Everyone knows that Wehner is a deceiver, shady and untrustworthy. He uses social media to sensationalize his bullshit while taking joy in trying to fool Antiguans but he is the fool, always has been, always will be.
