Waste Management Discussions for Garden Street and Long Path

The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority continues to strengthen its commitment to responsive and community-centered service. Last Friday evening, Executive Director Hannibal “Mike” Ware, along with members of the VIWMA Executive Team, attended a Town Hall meeting hosted by the Garden Street and Long Path Association to discuss ongoing concerns about waste collection and neighborhood cleanliness.

The open and constructive dialogue, hosted by the association, provided residents with an opportunity to share firsthand experiences and ideas. In response, Executive Director Ware pledged immediate actions, including placing two additional trash bins in the area and increasing collection frequency from once to twice daily.

“We care, we listen, and we act. Preserving Paradise takes each of us,” said Ware. “This meeting reflects VIWMA’s renewed focus on partnering with communities to create sustainable solutions. The residents of Garden Street and Long Path are passionate about keeping their neighborhood clean, and together we’re taking meaningful steps to make that happen.”
