Waste To Wealth Caribbean recently had the privilege of personally delivering a plaque of appreciation to His Worship the Mayor of Georgetown Alfred Mentore - Councillor for his endorsement and support of Guyana's inaugural International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW) event held at the National Park.
During the event, Mayor Mentore expressed strong support for the integration of composting into municipal systems and highlighted the potential use of organic materials, including shredded coconut shells, to improve soil conditions in public spaces such as cemeteries, parks, and green areas throughout Georgetown.
With landfill sites receiving an estimated 1,500 to 3,500 tons of waste daily, his support reinforces the importance of practical, community-driven solutions that promote environmental responsibility, food security, and economic empowerment.
Waste To Wealth Caribbean extends sincere gratitude to His Worship Mayor Alfred Mentore for recognizing the value of citizen education and composting as part of a cleaner, greener, and richer Guyana.
Together, we can reduce landfill waste, enrich our soils, and transform waste into wealth.
Thank you, Mayor Mentore, for your leadership and support of this growing national movement.
