A tyre baler for use at the Long Point Landfill would be used to enhance the esthetic appeal of the island and to prolong the life of the landfill. The equipment valued at US$ 62, 000 was purchased through a partnership between the Ministry of Health, the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society and the Canada Fund.

The equipment would be utilized to compress rubber tyres, cardboard and plastics for recycling outside the island.

“This tyre baler will help to eliminate several tons of garbage and thereby make the country more esthetically appealing. Also it will prolong the life of the landfill in that we will have less tyres, less cardboard and less plastics to deposit there.

“The tyre baler comes at a cost of US$62,000, 45,000 of which was provided by the Canada Fund working with the Historical and Conservation Society and the Ministry of Health. I wish therefore on behalf of the Ministry of Health to record our gratitude to the Canada Fund and the NHCS for collectively working with us to ensure a cleaner and safer Nevis,” he said.
