The National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) is reporting continued positive results from its six-month electronic waste (e-Waste) pilot project.

The pilot, which will come to an end in September, targets six communities in Kingston, St Andrew and St Catherine.

Community Relations Manager at the NSWMA, Shauna Guthrie, told JIS News that the six communities targeted have responded very well to the initiative.

Guthrie said the leaders and other representatives in the communities have been helpful in getting the information around about the pilot project.

The e-Waste pilot project will end on Sunday ,September 27, after which the team from the NSWMA will compile the results and use them to guide policy decisions for the storage and collection of electronic items in Jamaica.

The e-Waste pilot project, which began in March, targets the communities of Duhaney Park, Patrick City and Harbour View in St Andrew, and Hellshire, Angels 1, 2 and Angels Grove in St Catherine.

Persons outside of the six communities involved in the pilot project can drop off their e-waste at collection stations located at the NSWMA head office, 61A Half-Way Tree Road in Kingston; Dermason Plaza, Independence City in Portmore, and King Street in Spanish Town (next to the fire station).
