Summary

Description

The NSWMA is the Jamaican government's main waste management authority. Its apparently grown quite a bit since my last visit back in 2002(apparently it was only under a year old at that point in time). Then, I rarely saw trucks running around the island making regular collections, and in many rural areas(where I spent much of my time), burning garbage was often the most effective way of getting rid of it.

Fast forward to 2010, and the island now has a relatively effective network of refuse collectors that reaches even the rural parishes. Now you can see these trucks (most of them are these Isuzu Gigas-they apparently have some Renaults in the fleet but I didn't see one in person) all across the island making collections.
