Several residents within Paynesville are calling on the Paynesville City Corporation to be proactive in addressing the uncontrollable garbage disposal on the ongoing road construction project site.
The Paynesville City Inhabitants said, if the Paynesville City Corporation Authorities do not put into place a system that will address the garbage situation in a short period of time, the road that is under construction by the government will be a waste of resources.
According to Justina Gibson the inability regarding disposal of garbage on the street is a total disgrace to the city authority.
The dry goods business woman told our reporter that the Paynesville City Police needs to stop focusing on putting planks with nails embedded under taxis and applying their energy instead arrest those who will be dropping garbage on the streets.
Also speaking, Jefferson Toe a motorcyclist said the issue of disposing garbage on the street needs the collective efforts of everyone.
He said, the residents and that of PCC Authority have their part to play in finding a lasting solution to the uncontrollable garbage disposer.
Toe disclosed that the garbage is created by the community's residents who most of the time, gave their garbage to at -risk youths for disposal.
According to him, those at-risk youths are only interested in the little money that is given to them by the residents to dispose of the garbage, but are not concerned about the health implication.
He expressed the hope that those at the PCC will take action to remove the garbage that is being disposed on the road that is under construction.
