Issued by: Cayman Islands Department of Environmental Health

The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) wishes to apologise to the residents of Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac for the lengthy delays in their garbage collection services since the start of this week.

Although garbage has been picked up in some communities; the following areas are still affected: In Grand Cayman – Crewe Road, Shamrock Road, Prospect Drive, Hirst Road, College Close to Windward Drive, Tall Tree to Will T Drive, Will T Drive to Northward entrance via Shamrock Road, Hudson and Fig Tree Drive, North Sound Estates to Moonbeam Drive, Pedro Castle Road to Spotts Newlands, Frank Sound Homes, Ocean Club to Newlands and Midland Acres to John McLean Drive.

The delays in collection have been caused by several issues including a mechanical breakdown of the two garbage trucks that are assigned to Cayman Brac.

The DEH has been working tirelessly throughout the week to ensure that normal collections resume in the shortest possible time.

Garbage pick-up in Cayman Brac resumed Thursday (22 March 2018) in scheduled areas, while collection of outstanding areas in Grand Cayman began on Saturday, 24 March 2018.

The DEH urges residents who continue to experience non-collection of their garbage to call the offices in Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac on 949-6696 or 916-4201, respectively, or by emailing [email protected]
