The Ministry of Health in Antigua and Barbuda is leading a nationwide cleanup campaign that has already identified 155 derelict vehicles for removal. This campaign focuses on improving public health by cleaning drains, coastal areas, main roads, and village corners across the islands. The effort is part of National Anti-Litter Month, declared by the Cabinet to promote environmental responsibility and healthier communities.

Removing abandoned vehicles is a key part of the cleanup because they pose environmental hazards and create safety risks for neighborhoods. The Ministry is working closely with the National Solid Waste Management Authority and local communities to coordinate the removal process. Residents are encouraged to report derelict vehicles and other waste issues to support the campaign’s goals.

This health-driven initiative highlights the government’s commitment to protecting public health through environmental action. By tackling waste and derelict vehicles, Antigua and Barbuda aim to create cleaner, safer living spaces and enhance the overall quality of life for citizens.
