The sanitation team was responding to a call for the collection of garbage on 7
th Street in Trench Town, St. Andrew.
âIt is very difficult to use physical labour and load the trucks because containerisation is a challenge in many areas, but more so in these densely populated areas. It is difficult having people picking up, raking and shovelling up and putting it in the truck. Sometimes to resolve these mini-dump types of challenges we require heavy-duty equipment,â Mr. Gordon told
JIS News.
âIn this particular community, Mr. Folkes was quick, without any prompting, to offer the services of a piece of heavy-duty equipment that he owns. This is exactly what I want right across Jamaica, where people will come to the party. What Mr. Folkes demonstrated is how, together, we can make it happen. That is exactly the message I am pushing across Jamaica â partnership,â he added.
