From north to south, authorities and local governments are giving the issue of waste management high priority. Several events are being organized throughout the month of July for residents of Sainte-Luce, as well as for residents of the southern part of the island who would like to dispose of their waste. All these stakeholders share a common goal: to make Martinique a clean place for everyone!
Public Information Meeting: For Residents of Sainte-Luce
Espace Sud is organizing a public information meeting on July 23 at 6:00 p.m. at the Sainte-Luce City Hall. The purpose of this meeting is to review the rules for sorting waste and to discuss the challenges of waste management as part of a «new system for waste collection and sorting in Sainte-Luce,» according to the municipality.
«Yellow, gray, and brown bins… collection days, sorting guidelines, bulky items: now is the time to get all the details and, most importantly, ask any questions you may have! Espace Sud staff and elected officials will be on hand to answer your questions, discuss your concerns, and tailor our services to best meet your needs,» adds Espace Sud, the organization behind this informational meeting. «Come meet and talk with representatives from Espace Sud to learn about the new recycling guidelines and the new waste collection procedures implemented in the town,» say the organizers.
What about the north?
As for the other municipalities in the northern part of the island, it’s worth noting that the Tri Bô Kay tour took place throughout the month of July. A final stop is scheduled for July 24 and 25 in the municipality of Gros-Morne. On Friday, July 24, the event will take place in the parking lot of the community center in the Bois Lézard neighborhood, and the following day at the former B Coeducational School in Bourg.
Items accepted for recycling include: scrap metal, metal waste, bicycles, large and small appliances, and various bulky items. Please note that not all items are accepted, and paint cans must be completely emptied, as must freezers and refrigerators. As for tires, they must be removed from their rims before they can be collected.
Everything is therefore in place to prevent illegal dumping and keep our landscapes clean: for a welcoming Martinique, a clean Martinique.
