Garbage Crisis Along San Felipe Road

The San Felipe Road is part of the route that connects Jacinto Village to Dolores and Crique Sarco villages. It is a major road, with millions of dollars invested in tourism along the route. Ixcacao and Cotton Tree Lodge are two of the key investors in the agro-tourism industry, but their investments are now suffering because the government has not provided proper garbage disposal sites for residents in Toledo. As a result, people are dumping their garbage along the roadside, creating a major eyesore for both tourists and locals. Belize has an anti-littering law, but it is rarely enforced by the Department of Environment or the village councils. Investors are now appealing to the government to take action to address the problem, ensuring that their investments in the tourism industry are not wasted.
