The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority (WMA) has advised the St. Croix and St. Thomas communities that green waste and seaweed will not be accepted at the territory's landfills until further notice.
WMA Haulers are reminded not to dump mixed waste at the landfill as green waste commingled with solid waste could cause fires. Waste haulers are asked to follow the instructions of landfill personnel. Failure to follow established landfill policies, rules and instructions of WMA personnel and its contractors shall result in loss of disposal privileges, according to the release.
The public and haulers are asked to hold green waste and seaweed until further notice.
The authority apologized for any inconvenience that this may cause and would like to thank the VIWMA staff, contractors and the public for helping us put safety first.
