PHOTO BY SUREASH CHOLAI CONSERVATION group Fishermen and Friends of the Sea (FFOS) says the Solid Waste Management Company Limited (SWMCOL) is responsible for failing to have the Beverage Container Bill passed in 20 years. The group also said the company had failed in its 40-year existence to develop an adequate garbage sorting and collection programme. FFOS issued a statement after SWMCOL chairman Ronald Milford appeared before the State Enterprise Joint Select Committee on Monday, when Milford answered questions about the company's challenges with illegal dumping and recycling.
