Cherry faces more heat

ANDERSON CHERRY, chief executive officer of José y José Liquid and Solid Waste Management, was an exhausted man yesterday as he stood in solidarity with about 70 truckers in a tight battle with Government over a $25 per tonne tipping fee for taking waste to the Sustainable Barbados Recycling Centre (SBRC).
