Talking garbage.

Discussions between the French and Dutch sides on plans to develop a joint waste management system for the island will continue on June 5th and 6th in Paris. A solution to the island's waste needs is needed by 2007 said Roy Marlin whilst wearing his Public Works hat.

Consultancy firm TNO/Royal Haskoning will present it's evaluation report on the island needs during this trip. Last year a study was done of the kinds of waste deposited at both the island dumps by the population. Not all the dump people are genuine, some are researchers it seems.

Anyway, a good thing. Late is better than never. But then.... what solutions will be chosen?

Lets wait and see.

The French side had a meeting about the garbage situation this week.

I thought these guys were supposed to be working together with the Dutch Side on a joint solution. Meeting this week in Paris? I have a clipping that says so.

Waste-to-energy disposal system being considered for St. Maarten

PHILIPSBURG--A waste-to-energy incineration plant is being considered for the island with the electricity produced from the plant to be channelled to a utilities company; either GEBE or EDF, depending on where the plant is situated.

The suggestion is outlined in the Waste Management Feasibility Report being compiled by TNO/Royal Haskoning that should be completed in August and submitted to both sides of the island, Commissioner Roy Marlin said at Wednesday’s Executive Council Press Briefing.
