Residents of three communities in Antigua — Five Islands, Radio Range, and Herberts — are facing unexpected disruptions to their regular residential waste collection schedules, the National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) has confirmed. In an official public advisory released to local communities on Wednesday, the governing body confirmed that scheduled waste pickups in all three areas have been pushed back from their originally planned timelines. While the NSWMA has not released any public details explaining what caused the service disruption, it moved quickly to assure affected households that crews are already working to resolve the underlying issue. According to the advisory, the authority aims to clear all backlogged waste collections by Thursday, June 25, to return services to their standard routine as soon as possible. Expressing gratitude to impacted residents for their cooperation amid the inconvenience, the NSWMA called on anyone who has experienced extended delays or a complete missed pickup to reach out directly to its dedicated customer support hotline. The hotline, reachable at 562-1347, is set up to log resident reports and address individual concerns related to the disrupted service. As of the advisory’s release, the NSWMA remains focused on clearing the backlog and restoring full, normal operations for all affected communities.
