Belize Waste Control Hopes to Resolve Garbage Issues Soon  

Earlier today, we also spoke with the General Manager of Belize Waste Control Limited. Both the company and the Belize City Council are keeping quiet about the details of their discussions. However, James Nisbet mentioned that they are hopeful the issue will be resolved in the coming days.

 

James Nisbet, General Manager, Belize Waste Control

“As with any business, we do have some issues from time to time, operations-wise, financial-wise; however, the company has been able o work through all of those difficulties in the past and we were sure that we will have some difficulties going forward.  However, we have been doing all that we can with the resources that are available to us in collecting the garbage.  We understand the inconveniences that have been caused by a shortfall of picking up, maybe two streets and we need to do it two days later and the problem becomes compounded, and it looks a whole lot worst from a residential standpoint, as well as from an outside looking in standpoint.  We are completely aware of the hardships that all businesses face, i.e. the Belize City Council.  We are in dialogue with them and hopefully we can reach some kind of arrangement with them sometime very soon, but in the meantime, I ask and I beg the indulgence of the citizens, the residents, to try and work with us a little bit.  We are doing the best that we can with the resources that we have at this time.”

“Now I understand that the debt owed by the Belize City Council is an accumulation over a period of time.  Are you guys able to continue with the operations or the day-to-day and meet your financial end?

 

James Nisbet

“I would not like to comment too much on that other than to say that we have and we will continue to work with the city council on conducting what we do. It has become challenging for us to maintain the absolute best possible service that we can with the resources that are available to us.  Like I said, we are doing our best to try and see how we can remedy that.  So we hope that we can reach a resolution very, very soon.”
