Community Recycling Drive - Jamaica Golden Triangle, Kingston:

The Golden Triangle spans Hope Road, Trafalgar Road, Old Hope Road and stops at Liguanea. It is for residential

developments and rapidly developing into mix use of commercial and residential activities.

FDWO galvanized and educated the community on the benefits of recycling, the types of plastics and how to identify

recyclable plastics and non-recyclable plastics. The community drive is currently active and ongoing..

FDWO assisted the church community to clean up their environment and dispose of plastics on their compound causing

a storage and waste nuisance on the property.

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

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