The Cayman Islands Government plans to create a PPP for a new solid waste management system. As well as running the garbage collection services, the contractors will be required to remediate the current landfills, with recycling, composting and a waste-to-energy approach at the heart of operations.

Premier Alden McLaughlin said:

“We said from the outset of being elected to office that we would do everything in our power to resolve the issue of the landfill and the need for a modern solid waste management system."
