Sherwin Gilzine:

"No, because they are not serving the town with enough units. There is only one unit that comes once a week and that is not sufficient, because there are lots of garbage receptacles still filled with garbage even after they pass through the town. We need more units to go inside the communities."

Donald Campbell:

"The whole Lucea area is a garbage dump. You have rats running left, right and centre, because I have seen it myself. Behind the market is a national disgrace in terms of dumping and the smell. And the parish council does nothing. I don't know what they are doing really and truly when it comes on to the garbage. So the answer is no."

Olivia Sewell:

"I am not satisfied with the state of Lucea. They take too long to clean the garbage. The bus park needs to be dealt with better. The garbage at the fisherman's beach is terrible. All the drains that lead there are blocked with garbage. The public health people need to do something about it.

Leonard Sharpe:

"They are not doing a good job. The town of Lucea wants a general cleaning. And me notice parish council only talk tings; dem no carry out the actions. The garbage pile up on Millers Drive, and the domestic garbage and the commercial garbage throw down at one place, and goats and dogs have it in the road. It makes the town look like a ghetto area."

Michael Christie:

"I don't have to think; the answer is no. To me, Lucea is terrible, they need to do better. Lucea fi clean up and look better, get rid of the stray animals and the rats. Even when the animals die, they remain in the town to rot. The Chinese are very nasty and contribute to a lot of the garbage in the town. The health inspectors are not checking the Chinese, so they get away with their pollution of the town."
