The National Solid Waste Management Authority, NSWMA, will be spending 35 million dollars to establish a Waste Transfer Station near Georges Plain,  Westmoreland.

The station, which should be built in six months, will help to improve garbage collection in the parish.

With the building of the new facility, small units will transfer garbage to larger vehicles at the site, and these would then transport the garbage to St. James.

This will likely see household garbage being collected twice per week instead of one day per week.
