a storage and waste nuisance on the property.
Recycling Programme - The National Works Agency (NWA)
In 2021, FDWO partnered with the National Works Agency to create a recycling programme within the government
entity to carry out waste separation activities. The Programme saw FDWO implementing the programme by educating
and training staff on the benefits of recycling while being able to identify recyclable and non-recyclable plastics.
The company sensitization resulted in the recovery of approximately 20,000 lbs of plastic over a 2-month period. The
programme is active, and the NWA now separates plastics from their waste stream additionally employees separate at
their homes and deposit plastics at the NWA drop off location.
Community Recycling - Bayfront Villas Citizens Association, St. Catherine
FDWO partnered with Bayfront Villas Citizen Association to transform the community to a community that separates
plastics from their waste. The Association is currently recycling plastics in the community.
Community Outreach – Accompong, St. Elizabeth
The onset of Covid 19 brought worldwide disruptions in the education systems where many youths and children were
negatively affected. FDWO’s response and recovery efforts resulted in the creation of the I Care Back 2 Schools Supplies
Drive to benefit youth and young women in the Ministry of Education in Accompong, St. Elizabeth.

took place over one month ending September 2021. The drive was sponsored by Jamaica Irie FM and Self Priesteen
