PRIME Minister Andrew Holness yesterday committed his Government to divesting the Riverton dump which has cost taxpayers millions of dollars to fight a spate of fires over the years, and which has triggered chronic respiratory illnesses in residents who live in its vicinity.

In tandem with that, Holness said his Administration will be introducing systemic waste separation and will be using the garbage stock at Riverton in a waste-to-energy project that will not only produce a cheaper source of energy, but will create additional employment opportunities as well.

this mean no more fiyah?

[PeeJay]

Didn't Sir X suggest something to that effect months years

ago. Assassin help[me if I am wrong. I believed he said the State could get revenue from fines for various quality of life projects. Following this same vein households not recycling can be fined as well.

[Assasin]

or is that Willi? Sir X will definitely correct me if I am wrong but mi know Willi unto that a long time ago.

[Willi]

Well, I LIVE it here.

$200 when dem search you garbage and it not in the $2 taxed white Bag. If you dont recycle, then you fill up the white bag too fast! On top of that you pay $80 per person per annum.

Serious ting dont tek it mek joke!

Divestment of Riverton landfill is a good thing.

Separation of garbage is also a good thing. However, if we have serious problems just disposing of garbage in the first place...

Gwaan Anju!

That is one of the biggest difference I see in NY and Atlanta. In NY you had to recycle in NY or you would get a fine if you consistently fail to put out recycle. Here in most places in Georgia you don't even get a recycle bin and with companies it is optional, not a state regulation. But either way we have to learn to take better care of our environment.

Money in the garbage...especially owl electronics, but it also can be toxic to extract.

Over the years, the richest people in the world were probably pirates, slave traders, bankers, oil men, those in computers and related stuff (Jobs, Gates).

My prediction for the future? The richest people will be involved in waste management. Yes, the wasteman will be the man/woman with the cash!

Really a slow start by the PM.
There is MUCH work to be done given the bad job the PNP has done.
What appears to be the consensus amongst newly appointed ministers is they will stay the course (such a bad fob by the firmer govt)with a little tweaking here and there.
Get the ball rolling on the outlandish tax proposals,then we will entertain..
I feel I lost my whole paycheck to the three card man,and now he going for my piggybank.

[Mosiah]

What should be clear to Anju is it can't be business as usual if you're going to bring about real and lasting change to the lives of Jamaican people.

If you don't do something really different then nothing will be really different.
