They advised the officials and residents that the islands would benefit greatly through monitoring and regulation of the waste.

Minister Miller noted that poor waste management poses a threat not only to the environment, but also to human health, and this is why the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources is committed to cleaning up the country and sustaining it.
