LM&TC signs contract with private company for waste disposal
Linden Mayor and Town Council, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice), has signed a contract with OLT Waste Solutions Enterprise for waste disposal.
The municipality, which has the sole responsibility for waste management in the community, has had some major challenges in the past. Apart from the Council, only Cevons Waste Management, another private company, is contracted to carry out waste disposal in Linden.

In a statement, the municipality said OLT is a private company with a mandate to uplift and dispose of solid waste, according to the guidelines of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Council’s standard practice. The Council also made it clear that utilising the services of the company is not compulsory. “Residents can be assured that the municipality with the resources we have will continue to work tirelessly to meet the needs of the people of the township,” the statement added.
