AN ILLEGAL DUMP SITE was found right under the nose of the Ministry of the Environment on Saturday.

Hidden in plain sight in the middle of the busy commercial centre of Warrens, St Michael, it held all of the waste one would expect in an out-of-the-way gully or cane field. This included fridges, stoves, mattresses, old tyres, the rotting carcass as well as bones of a long-dead animal, in addition to mounds of discarded household waste.

The ministry’s headquarters are located in the Warrens Office Complex next door.

The mess was discovered by the eagle eyes of a first form boy, who spotted what looked like a washing machine through the tall grasses of an open lot. (HLE)
