The Dominica Solid Waste Management Corporation (DSWMC) has unveiled a major upgrade to the nation’s waste management infrastructure, marking a significant step forward in addressing operational challenges. In a recent press release, the DSWMC announced the acquisition of four state-of-the-art compactor trucks, delivered at the end of October. These high-capacity vehicles are poised to revolutionize solid waste collection services across the island, ensuring more consistent and timely operations. The investment is expected to significantly boost the Corporation’s efficiency in handling the increasing volume of waste generated by households and businesses. By enhancing logistical capabilities, the initiative aims to create a cleaner, healthier, and more visually appealing environment for all citizens. The DSWMC expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit and the government for prioritizing the waste management sector and fulfilling commitments outlined in the 2025/2026 national budget. Preparations are currently underway for a formal handing-over ceremony, where the new trucks will be officially commissioned. The public will be informed of the event details in the coming weeks. Additionally, the DSWMC urged citizens and communities to continue practicing source sorting and proper waste containerization as the new resources are integrated into the island’s waste management system.
