Thanks to a donation from both government and private companies, villages on Saipan will have more garbage bins that will help maintain and promote a trash-free island. <\/p>\n
Saipan and Northern Islands Municipal Council chair Ramon B. Camacho, council staff, and Neighborhood Watch Task Force Precinct 4 block captain Sebastian Tajibmai received the garbage bins at the Laolao Bay Golf Resort last Friday.<\/p>\n
Camacho, in an interview, said the garbage bins were actually oil drums donated by the Commonwealth Utilities Corp. and Isla Petroleum & Energy, the Shell licensee on Saipan.<\/p>\n
Camacho said these drums were cleaned, painted with \u201cJoin Neighborhood Watch,\u201d and transported by the Department of Corrections inmates. <\/p>\n
Other businesses also donated the paints and supplies used on the drums.<\/p>\n
At least 20 garbage cans have already been distributed to different Neighborhood Watch villages.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s considered as a community project and we\u2019re going to continue this as more donated drums keep coming,\u201d Camacho said.<\/p>\n
Tajibmai said the donated garbage bins will help keep their precinct clean and litter-free. He \u201cstrongly encouraged\u201d other businesses to help in this \u201cexcellent community project.\u201d<\/p>\n
Frank Camacho, block captain of the Dandan Neighborhood Watch, said Friday that they received about two weeks ago eight garbage bins that they placed at each of the four school bus stops in their village.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project is meant for all villages but we have a limited number of cans,\u201d he told Saipan Tribune. \u201cI hope and encourage other businesses to donate paints or drum cans for this worthy project.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
