The Nevis Island Administration (NIA), through its Ministry of Health and in partnership with the Nevis Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA), has introduced a Vehicle Disposal Amnesty Programme aimed at addressing the issue of derelict vehicles across the island. The initiative, announced by Minister of Health Senator Jahnel Nisbett during the November 06 Nevis Island Assembly session, is part of a broader scrap metal management project led by the NSWMA. The amnesty, which runs from November 10, 2025, to January 31, 2026, allows vehicle owners to dispose of abandoned, unlicensed, or non-roadworthy vehicles without penalties. Eligible vehicles must be delivered to the landfill for processing, with specific components such as tires, engine oil, and catalytic converters removed beforehand. The NSWMA has provided a contact number for arrangements, and no disposal fees will be charged. The programme also calls on mechanic shops and garages to identify and dispose of qualifying vehicles. Senator Nisbett emphasized the initiative’s role in promoting recycling, waste reduction, and environmental sustainability, urging residents to participate in keeping Nevis clean and safe.
