In press bulletins released on Wednesday, October 9, the DWM announced they are accepting quotes for over two dozen steel skips and are seeking a firm to provide oil management services. Additionally, the DWM will host a community meeting in Virgin Gorda on Tuesday, October 15, to discuss a proposed house-to-house service in Handsome Bay and plans to expand services into the Windy Hill community. Residents are encouraged to participate in discussions aimed at enhancing these services.
Waste oil management
In their request for oil management services, the DWM is looking for qualified firms to provide environmentally sound waste oil management for six months. This includes the collection and export of over 4,400 gallons of waste oil recovered from various sources each month, as well as the safeguarding and storage of waste oil at their facility. The DWM is also seeking to establish partnerships with recyclers of waste oil on both regional and international levels.
