‘Our municipality has put in place measures to assist the community in correctly dumping their garbage in an attempt to eliminate health hazards and ensure everybody lives in a healthy environment,’ he said.
‘Our main aim is to reduce illegal dumping and restore pride and dignity to the people. We also want to emphasise the importance of taking care of nature.’
