THE PROPOSED tipping fee may result in the public having to pay increased costs to have their waste removed, in some cases as much as double.
In a paid advertisement in yesterday’s DAILY NATION, a group called The Private Waste Haulers, made up of companies such as Hinds Transport Services Ltd, Jose y Jose Liquid & Waste Management Inc, Garbage Gobbler, Sewage Services & Skip Rentals Ltd and three others, said they had been all but ignored by the Sanitation Service Authority (SSA) and, if the fees were to be implemented, they would have to pass on the costs to the consumer, as much as 100 per cent.
“We have written to the Authority asking for a meeting of the stakeholders; however we have been unable to secure an audience thus far [although] the Authority confirmed . . . once they have more information regarding the logistics of the implementation, they will call a meeting with the stakeholders.” (CA)
