Being a good corporate citizen is something that is taken very seriously at Bahamas Waste. Recently the company proved its commitment by donating the supplies necessary to do a much needed cleanup on Raymond Street.

"We have been working with Violets Are Blue (Ltd.) and Rotary for the better part of a year identifying areas of need, getting in there and cleaning them up," said Francisco de Cardenas, managing director at Bahamas Waste. "Recently, it was brought to our attention that Mrs. Martha Dean, an 85-year-old resident of Raymond Street, was in need of serious help, and we thought to ourselves that there was no better cause than this one."

Mrs. Dean has been a longtime resident of the area and while her home is kept in pristine condition; the areas immediately surrounding her home were piled with trash and debris. Bahamas Waste teamed up with Violets Are Blue (Ltd.), Rotary Club of East Nassau and Heritage Rangers to remove the trash and restore her home to its former glory.

"We have worked with Bahamas Waste on cleanup efforts in the past; we thought that cleaning up around Mrs. Dean's home was an excellent way for us and Bahamas Waste to give back to the community," said Ulrich Voges, of Violets are Blue (Ltd.). "This time it was truly a community effort, with members of the community seeing what we were doing and pitching in to help too."
