More delays at Riverton dump
FOR the second time in less than a week, garbage trucks were on Thursday forced to wait in a long line at the Riverton City Waste Disposal facility in Kingston before they were able to dispose of waste collected mainly from the Corporate Area.
This time, as was the case earlier this week, the problem was associated with faulty equipment on the landfill.
The Observer was on the scene investigating rumours of a fire at the dump when a worker reported to landfill supervisor Cleveland Francis, that one of the tracks of the single working tractor on the site had broken and needed to be welded back on.
“Di track break off so mi a go weld it on back now. Mi tell dem sey fi send dem up two by two,” he said, addressing Francis.
“It will be down for at least an hour,” Francis later told the Observer.
