Roseau, Dominica – The government of Dominica has welcomed the arrival of 2 sludge collector trucks, which will help to improve the island’s waste management practices. The trucks were donated by the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) as part of a project to improve water quality in the Roseau River.
The sludge collector trucks will be used to collect and transport wastewater sludge from the Roseau Wastewater Treatment Plant. The sludge will then be disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
The arrival of the sludge collector trucks is a significant step forward for Dominica’s sustainable waste management efforts. The trucks will help to reduce the amount of sludge that is discharged into the Roseau River, which will improve water quality and protect the environment.
The CDB’s donation of the sludge collector trucks is part of a larger project to improve water quality in the Roseau River. The project also includes the construction of a new wastewater treatment plant and the installation of a water quality monitoring system.
The project is expected to be completed in 2024. Once completed, the project will help to improve water quality in the Roseau River and protect the environment.
In addition to the sludge collector trucks, the CDB is also providing Dominica with technical assistance to help the country implement sustainable waste management practices. The technical assistance will help Dominica to develop a national waste management plan and to implement the plan at the local level.
The CDB’s support for sustainable waste management in Dominica is part of its broader efforts to support sustainable development in the Caribbean region. The CDB is committed to helping Caribbean countries to reduce their environmental impact and to improve the quality of life for their citizens.
