The Ministry of Infrastructure Development (MID) appeals to public to stop dumping waste at the eastern end of the Lungga bridge, by the AJ Mall.
MID expressed serious concern over the massive accumulation of rubbish near the eastern approach of Lungga bridge.
The dumpsite would be one of the first sights for visitors and residents arriving at AJ Mall in Honiara, a statement from MID on its Facebook page yesterday said.
The ministry currently has two active contractors engaged in cleaning the east Honiara highway from Honiara City Council (HCC) Roundabout to Henderson Court, MID said.
However, they face a losing battle against illegal dumping of household waste in public spaces and littering from vehicles.
“This is a pubic hazard and road safety concern.
“Our road assets and boundaries deserve respect. Let’s take pride in our city and keep it clean for everyone,” MID said.
MID urges public to be responsible to dispose waste at the allocated sites, to help and keep Honiara clean.
