(St. Croix, USVI) - The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority (VIWMA) and the Virgin Islands Department of Public Works are excited to announce that beginning Wednesday, February 12, 2025, they will collaborate to clear litter from heavily affected areas around Hay Penny Beach and the former Elena L. Christian Junior High School.

Cleanup efforts at Estates Bonne Esperance – Meadows and Clifton Hill (behind the solar farms) are scheduled for Wednesday, February 19, 2025.

The community is encouraged to participate in keeping the Virgin Islands clean. Residents can bring their White Goods (such as stoves, dryers, washing machines, refrigerators, and water heaters) to the Anguilla landfill at no cost.

"Littering and illegal dumping have become a significant problem territory wide. Our objective is not just to remove the current waste but also to inform the public about the importance of proper waste disposal. We are confident that with collective efforts and heightened awareness, we can make a meaningful difference in safeguarding our environment for future generations," stated Interim Executive Director, Daryl Griffith.
