A LOCAL MANUFACTURER has come up with a receptacle to help deal with the runaway garbage problems across Barbados.

L&N Workshop Inc., in Cane Garden, St Thomas, has started building two sizes of the roadside garbage collectors that can be used to help with the indiscriminate dumping taking place across many districts.

Norman Edwards, managing director of L&N, yesterday displayed the product for a number of Government officials who were on tour of his facility for other reasons.
