Still in related news, Nevis’ Ministry of Health et al “wishes to encourage the general public in possession of derelict vehicles to voluntarily make arrangements to have them removed”, the Ministry said in a public announcement.

To facilitate this removal process for the collective good, the Ministry has partnered with the Nevis Historical and Conservation Society who will coordinate the removal free of cost. This will be done in recognition of Earth Day (today) April 22nd, 2024.

Please contact the NHCS representatives at 660-7833/469 -9423 to arrange FREE collection. Please note that some hotspots have already been identified and owners will be contacted to encourage voluntary removal at no cost. Failure to comply will result in the owners/responsible party being served with an Enforcement Order.

Guided by the Solid Waste Management Ordinance, removal will be required within seven (7) days at the expense of the owner or person in charge of the vehicle.
