The Ministry of Public Works and Environment is pleased to announce the arrival of a new cohort of garbage collection trucks, marking a step forward in supporting Bermuda’s waste management infrastructure.
The new vehicles — four in total — were recently delivered to the Marsh Folly waste facility in Pembroke, where the Hon. Jache Adams, Minister of Public Works and Environment, conducted an inspection and met with frontline crews.
“These new additions represent a meaningful investment in the efficiency and reliability of Bermuda's public waste collection services,” said Minister Adams.
"Garbage collection is a vital public service, and we are committed to ensuring our teams have the tools and resources they need to get the job done.”
The newly acquired trucks, which are expected to enter active service by the end of the week, are built with more robust engineering than previous models, specifically selected for their durability and suitability to Bermuda’s unique climate and road conditions.
With enhanced mechanical reliability and a design tailored for long-term performance, these vehicles are expected to improve overall service continuity across the Island.
Minister Adams took the opportunity to commend the dedicated staff of the Department of Works and Engineering's Waste Management section, praising their commitment to weekly residential garbage collection — even during periods when the fleet faced strain due to operational constraints.
“Our crews have worked tirelessly to maintain service standards for the public, often under demanding circumstances,” the Minister said.
“Their professionalism and dedication have not gone unnoticed, and with the introduction of these new trucks, we are better equipped to support them in their vital roles."
The Ministry reaffirms its commitment to continuous improvement and investment in Bermuda’s public services. These new trucks underscore a forward-looking approach to ensuring sustainable, reliable waste collection for all residents.
