The growing pile of garbage along Sussex Street has been cleared, much to the satisfaction of persons who live in the environs. Late last week, persons had expressed concern over the refuse, saying that it was both an eyesore and a health worry.
The growing pile of garbage had long since started to reek, and had become a haven for rats, snakes and other vermin. This sparked concern as to what diseases these vermin may carry.
While the garbage has been removed, many persons have wondered how long it will be before the mound of garbage returns. Mayor of Georgetown, Hamilton Green, said that he had previously requested that environmental education be started in schools, but he noted that, due to various reasons, this had never materialised.
“I wanted to have a programme started in schools,” said the mayor, “to help our children learn about the importance of the environment, and why they should preserve it.” He said that only by educating the young could a change really be effected. 
The problem of dumping garbage, he said, was largely due to a problem with the citizens of these areas. “It is a community problem,” said Greene, as he highlighted that an able-bodied police force, with enough resources and manpower, was needed to police these areas and ensure that persons do not simply dump garbage anywhere they saw fit.
