in an attempt to get a loan for the financing of the rehabilitation of the garbage dump at Ornamibo. Public Works Minister Stephen Tsang explained that the government wants to opt for a better way to separate and process garbage. The fire that broke out recently at the garbage dump has made it clear again that the situation there is dangerous. Minister Tsang pointed out that there are various things that could start a fire. The ministry and the Fire Department are working together to address the problems at Ornamibo. About a year ago the Ministry of Public Works started discussing a pilot project for the rehabilitation of grabage dumps with the IDB. This project is aimed at upgrading Ornamibo and establishing two new garbage dumps. Garbage processing must be improved within the next two years. This would also benefit the companies that will be a tive in the oil and gas sector as they need certified garbage dumps. Suriname currently does not have any certified garbage dumps.
