NSMWA SEEKS TO ENHANCE TYRE-SHREDDING CAPABILITIES

The National Solid Waste Management Authority has been short-listed for World Bank support to establish a tyre shredding facility capable of handling steel-belted and heavy-duty tyres.

General Manager, Indira James-Henry says used tyres present one of the most pressing waste challenges, estimating that roughly five million tyres are currently stockpiled at the landfill. She provided the update during an interview on ABS’ Antigua Barbuda Today.
