Some of the things that were dumped along the embankment of the Sandy Gully along Washington Boulevard in St Andrew. - Contributed

Yet another business company has been slapped by the National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) for breaches of the National Solid Waste Management Act after illegally disposing of waste matter.

The recently charged entity is Roye's Trucking. Reports from the NSWMA are that last Friday the proprietor of Roye's Trucking was seen by officers of the NSWMA disposing of waste material which included discarded/used shoes, cardboard boxes and tree cuttings on the embankment of Sandy Gully along Washington Boulevard in St. Andrew.

The man was subsequently cited for breaches of Section 45 of the National Solid Waste Management Act 2001.

The report continued that the business operator was also issued with a three-day removal notice to have the area returned to its original state before the offence was committed or face a fine of $100,000.

Earlier this month, the NSWMA had cited the Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort Limited and Sheridan Davis, acontractor, for the illegal disposal of solid waste at Dunnsville, Exchange, St Ann. The parties will appear in the St. Ann's Bay Resident Magistrate's Court on March 18 to answer to charges for breaches of Section 45 of the Act.

The NSWMA issued a stern warning to all business operators and waste haulers that whoever is found to be in breach of the Act will be prosecuted.
