GARBAGE, UTTER GARBAGE

It is generally accepted that the Central Abaco Council, under the leadership of Chief Councillor Silbert Mills, has done an excellent job during its term of office. There were apprehensions when the new slate was elected but they have been allayed to a great extent. One area of discontent remains, however. The collection of garbage during the last year in the greater Marsh Harbour district has been sporadic at best. Piles of garbage have been left throughout Marsh Harbour, Dundas Town and Murphy Town, much to the pleasure of the local potcake population.

The garbage contract is held by Deputy Chief Councillor Jason Swain, who claims that mechanical breakdowns were responsible for the poor service. It is understood that Mr Swain receives full contract payment whether collection is made or not.

This unsatisfactory situation has led to requests from Dundas Town and Marsh Harbour for separate garbage collection services when the present contract with Deputy Chief Councillor Swain runs out in December.
