THE PILES OF garbage across the island have many residents of small communities across Barbados frustrated about the growing situation.

For the past three weeks employees of the Sanitation Service Authority (SSA) have been working with a fleet of 11 trucks to service the entire island, and have been unable to fulfil their duty to rid the island of the garbage which is now creating an eyesore.

When a SUNDAY SUN team visited some communities across the island, mounds of garbage were spotted.

In White Hill, St Andrew, residents complained of not having their garbage collected for over a month.

“I don’t know the last time we had a pickup out here. It’s been going on about two months now,” said Margaret Gill.
