GEORGETOWN Major Hamilton Green, yesterday again, appealed to citizens to stop disposing of their garbage in the city waterways, calling the practice no better than “cultural barbarism.”
He issued the appeal at a media conference on the municipality’s preparation for the current rainy season.
Speaking at City Hall, Regent Street and Avenue of the Republic, Green said the heavy water accumulation in the capital would not occur, if people dispose of their refuse in an environmentally friendly manner.
He said, while the fine for litterbugs is $10,000 and at least 10 defaulters appear in Court weekly, the City Council prefers to educate the public on the consequences rather than levy the penalty.
