RECYCLES WEEK IS LAUNCHED GVT TSH ENV Recycles Week is launched Works and Engineering Minister Alex Scott officially launched Bermuda Recycles Week on the steps of City Hall yesterday.
Mr. Scott said up to 20 percent of waste produced in Bermuda is recycled and said his ministry aims to increase that percentage.
"Bermuda has responded and we have been doing it for exactly six years,'' he said. "We average more than 20 tons a week.'' Bermuda Recycles Week -- which runs until Friday -- has been initiated by Keep Bermuda Beautiful to raise the public's awareness of recycling and re-enforce its importance.
Greg Wojciechowski, president of Keep Bermuda Beautiful said: "When practised regularly, recycling reduces the quantity of trash that finds its way into our environment as unsightly litter.'' He added: "The process is a continuous loop in which properly disposed of trash is recycled, reshaped, and re-introduced into the consumer cycle.'' Mr. Wojciechowski said one of the activities this week will be visits to grocery stores to "acknowledge shoppers who purchase products packaged in recycled materials''.
The meeting, attended by Works and Engineering officials, KBB, and by crews from the Corporation of Hamilton, Hunt's Sanitation, and W&E.
SAFETY REPAIRS FOR SHIP SHI Safety repairs for ship A Bahamian-registered ship will have to unload its cargo in Hamilton before essential safety repairs can be made.
The Pascale Delmas is due into Hamilton to unload its containers, before heading to a berth where its hull will be patched up to comply with shipping regulations.
A detention order is currently in place on the 12,000 tonne vessel, prohibiting it from leaving Bermuda waters until authorities are satisfied it is safe to do so.
It reportedly had a hole in the hull and a problem with the ballast tanks, prompting an unscheduled stop at the Island. But on its arrival the Polish crew raised concerns over the overall safety of the 158-metre vessel.
Now it is understood it is due to come alongside in Hamilton by the middle of this week for its cargo to be unloaded. From there, it is understood the freight will be taken on to New York by other ships, before heading to its final destination in Africa.
Once unloaded it will move to a berth where repairs will take place. It could leave by the middle of next week.
