Annual bulk waste collection starts in West Bay
(CNS): The annual bulk waste collection by the Department of Environmental Health ahead of the Christmas season gets underway in West Bay next week. Large unwanted waste will be collected from the kerb Monday through Saturday, covering a different district on Grand Cayman each week until the end of the month. Residents are asked to put their unwanted items out only during their designate week in an easily accessible place without obstructing the roadway.
Bulk waste refers to large items such as old furniture, mattresses, rugs, household appliances, carpeting, scrap metal, vegetative waste and other items that are not collected as part of the DEH’s weekly residential pick-up services. Construction and demolition debris, hazardous material, electronics and tyres will not be collected during the bulk waste removal activity and the public is asked to make alternative arrangements to transport these items to the landfill.
The George Town Landfill operates from 7am to 5pm weekdays and until 1pm on Saturdays. The site is closed Sundays but a drop-off facility at the gate remains accessible for the public and small vehicles 24 hours per day.
Bulk waste collection on Grand Cayman will take place from Monday to Saturday according to the following schedule:
| West Bay | November 1 – 6 |
| George Town | November 8 – 13 |
| Bodden Town | November 15-20 |
| North Side / East End | November 22-27 |
The schedule for the Bulk Waste Collection in the Sister Islands will be announced at a later date.

They still have not gotten all of the waste in West Bay. Most of the yard waste is still on the roadside in Birch Tree Hill, Scholars Drive, Pappagllo, Fountain Road, and some other side street’s that I cannot recall their names.
This needs to be removed as people had it out in time for it to be collected.
The PPM should gather on 8th Nov and stand by the roadside at Canal Point waiting for the DEH truck
Brac schedule?
When they collecting from Barkers?
Is it really too much to expect people to take their own waste to the tip?
Not everybody has access to a truck, which is what you typically need for bulk waste, smart-arse.
This is going to take a while, plenty on old bulk political waste in the Bay.
There’s one big pile of rotten waste been there for about 30 years, and no one seems to be able to get rid of it.
Household appliances are electronics.
