A Chaguanas man caught dumping rubbish on the roadside has apologised to residents and pledged never to repeat the offence.
The 26-year-old from Endeavour, who asked not to be named, spent Sunday morning cleaning an illegal dumpsite after being apprehended by the Chaguanas Municipal Police.
ASP Liza Phillips told Guardian Media members of the community filmed him dumping bags of rubbish on 9 November and posted the footage online. Her team contacted him and, instead of issuing a fine, agreed he would clean the pile of refuse near the southern end of the roundabout on a connector road between Caroni Savannah Road and the link between Chaguanas Main Road and Pierre Road. The road sits in an abandoned housing estate formerly owned by Caroni (1975) Limited and now held by State Lands.
