Residents in Bristol Road, Cave Hill, St. Michael are cleaning up after themselves with the help of Island Skip Services.
Impressed with the efforts of the residents, the company has entered into a public/private initiative starting in Cave Hill.
The intention is to go into other communities across the island to ensure residents can discard of their bulk waste from now until Christmas.
Communications Consultant with Haigh Communications Joy-Ann Haigh says she noticed the pile of garbage and an influx of mosquitoes on one of her visits.
She spoke to some residents who said they needed help and the idea was birthed.
Skips will be delivered to communities on Fridays and collected on Mondays, giving residents the entire weekend to rid themselves of waste.
Ms. Haigh believes communities can help by taking responsibility for their actions.
Meanwhile, resident Gale Greenidge says the clean up is an excellent idea and should be duplicated across the island.
