The Sanitation Service Authority (SSA) is pleading with Barbadians to stop putting excessive amounts of grass and other plant material with their household trash for collection.Public Relations Officer Carl Padmore told Barbados TODAY the situation had gotten out of hand, reducing the space for other refuse in garbage trucks.“We have seen a development which concerns us. While we appreciate that householders must do their own greening, trimming and getting rid of green waste from around their home, we think it is unreasonable that they would expect us to remove ten bags of green waste, along with household waste,” he said.“At the end of the day, the SSA is primarily in the business of removing household waste… that which is generated in the house. Green waste is garden waste; we use our discretion with that. We might from time to time move a bag or two but … up to this morning I had to go to a gentleman who had 12 bags and wanted SSA to move these 12 bags.”
