>PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten — The garbage dump on Sint Maarten, also called sanitary landfill, has been a reason for worry for many years. This is mainly because of the size, the method of management and the health risks it entails.
In July 2018, a separate investigation was started by the TBO, the anti-corruption task force of the Criminal Investigation Team (RST). This criminal investigation focuses on criminal acts around the procurement of contracts related to waste processing on Sint Maarten.
The current situation on the garbage dump of Sint Maarten is very undesirable. Almost every inhabitant of Sint Maarten suffers from this. It is very important to get more information to be able to prosecute those involved and to ensure that the allocation of waste management contracts in the future will be done in a correct and transparent manner.
