KUWAIT: Residentsaround Kuwait continue to complain about huge amounts of trash in front oftheir buildings. Photos showing piles of trash on sidewalks and garbage containersspilling over with trash are shared every day on social media in Kuwait.
Kuwait Timestoured Salmiya (Blocks 2,3,6, and 7) and Salwa (Blocks 2,5, and 6) and KuwaitCity yesterday, and found out that most of the piled up garbage was in residentialareas. Meanwhile, most bins and streets in commercial areas were noticeablyclean. Kuwait Times has been receiving complaints about trash not being pickedup for days in areas including Salwa, Salmiya, Khaitan, Mahboula, and Hawally.
While Kuwait Municipalitysays that the problem is being resolved gradually, the issue remains until anew company it recently hired to handle waste removal takes over from the oldcompany whose contract expired recently. A municipality employee told KuwaitTimes earlier this week that the hand over process should finish 'within days.'
