Final Push for Bulk Waste Collection in Five Islands
Residents of Five Islands are being urged to take advantage of ongoing clean-up efforts before collection crews move out of the community on February 25.
Authorities are encouraging households to place all bulk waste — including old furniture, appliances, and other large items — outside in time for collection to ensure the area is cleared efficiently.
The initiative forms part of a broader effort to enhance community cleanliness and environmental health. Residents are reminded to have their items ready and properly placed for easy pickup before the February 25 deadline.
Officials say timely cooperation from the community will help ensure Five Islands remains clean and orderly once the clean-up team departs.
