Cases of residents verbally abusing and physically assaulting Sanitation Service Authority (SSA) workers and illegal dumping are being turned over to police.Minister of the Environment and National Beautification Adrian Forde  sounded the warning as he launched the island’s 45th Clean and Green site at the Montgomery Pavilion, Cave Hill, St. Michael, recently.Over the last few weeks, there have been several complaints of abuse against SSA workers while carrying out their duties.And declaring that would not be tolerated, Forde said the Barbados Police Service has already been engaged to deal with these matters.“The attacks on Sanitation Service Authority workers will not continue under my watch. The police are already involved because this is a serious situation,” Forde emphasised.He pointed out that while most people were still asleep, SSA workers were on the job ensuring that the country remained clean to keep health threats under control.
