Reducing the amount of biodegradable waste sent to Guyana’s landfills should begin at the household level, according to Waste To Wealth Caribbean Inc. Founder Rampertab Etwaria, who raised the issue during a courtesy meeting with Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Priya Manickchand this week.

Etwaria presented the organisation’s approach to diverting biodegradable materials before they enter the country’s garbage collection and landfill systems.

“The solution to overcrowded landfills does not start at the dumpsite. It starts in our citizens’ kitchens.”
