The Antiguan government has expanded its National Clean-Up campaign to four additional communities this Thursday as part of its ongoing island-wide sanitation initiative. Clean-up crews are actively operating in Cooks Extension, Denfields, Bendals, and St. Thomas on February 26th, responding to the government’s call for enhanced civic participation under the program’s unifying theme “Love Where You Live.
Residents within these designated zones are being urged to position large household items and bulk waste materials along roadside areas for efficient collection by sanitation teams. This systematic approach facilitates streamlined operations and ensures comprehensive waste removal from participating neighborhoods.
The National Clean-Up campaign represents a strategic component of the government’s broader environmental management agenda, targeting improved community sanitation standards, combating illegal dumping practices, and fostering heightened civic responsibility throughout Antigua and Barbuda. Government officials have consistently emphasized the critical role of resident involvement in achieving sustainable neighborhood cleanliness.
This initiative reflects growing concerns about public health implications of improper waste disposal and represents a coordinated response to environmental challenges. The government’s persistent communications campaign underscores the connection between community participation and long-term sanitation success, positioning the clean-up drive as both a practical response and symbolic movement toward national pride.
