In a bid to address the persistent issue of abandoned vehicles, the government has introduced a new initiative offering a $150 incentive to private individuals who assist in the removal of derelict vehicles marked for disposal. This program is part of a broader national cleanup campaign aimed at improving urban environments and public health. The Ministry of Urban Development will oversee the project, collaborating with the National Solid Waste Management Authority and the Development Control Authority to ensure the proper verification, transportation, and disposal of these vehicles at the Cooks Landfill. Officials emphasize that enhanced inter-agency coordination will streamline the process, avoiding the delays and redundancies experienced in previous cleanup efforts. The Ministry of Social and Urban Transformation will soon release specific details, including dates, times, designated collection points, and participation guidelines. Derelict vehicles have long been a significant concern in many communities, contributing to environmental pollution, pest infestations, obstructed sidewalks, drainage problems, and safety hazards for residents.
