The National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) says several communities are experiencing delays in waste collection, but has assured residents that the issue is being addressed and services will be completed by Friday.
In a press release issued Thursday, the Authority said the delays have affected Villa, Sutherlands, English Harbour, Cedar Grove/Mount Pleasant and Barnes Hill.
“In an effort to improve our services and reliability, we are updating the residents in the community below of the delayed waste collection, and we are working to resolve the issue promptly,” the NSWMA stated.
The Authority thanked residents for their patience and indicated that collection in the affected areas “will be completed by tomorrow Friday 24th April 2026.”
Residents who experience missed or delayed pickups are being encouraged to contact the NSWMA hotline at 562-1347.
The update comes as the Authority works to maintain regular waste collection schedules across the island.

There will be no delay in rejecting the UPP on April 30th
Maybe they are busy picking up all those ABLP PARAPHERNALIA blowing all over the streets…
LIKE THE amount of flags and Billboards could Win an election…. BTW .. GASTON Brown and his chain gang members. After just two and a half years, they called an election short of the full five years, as if they actually completed what they set out to do. But they didn’t. Our passport, once respected—people from Santo Domingo and others came to Antigua to get it—now it’s not even respected anymore. It was destroyed by this previous government through the CIP visa program, which attracted shady characters. And now, we have a sketchy election—billboards are being messed with, criminal behaviors are rampant. It’s so unfair to have a government that attracts these kinds of people and still calls this a fair election. On top of that, they’re outspending the UPP with the largest billboards, and even though the UPP has a few small ones, they still get vandalized. We also don’t understand why Antigua hasn’t had a functional hospital. We’re so far behind—our MRI machines are sketchy, the whole health care system is failing, and the customer service in Antigua is terrible. Government buildings are run down—bathrooms are awful, no maintenance. Yet this prime minister claims he’s a great leader, but he’s really leading us nowhere. It’s time for a real change.
Yes, but have you addressed the grievances of the very hard deserving workers?
That’s the news we will like to hear as well.
