He said the ministry was currently review Fiji’s waste management systems.
“We are also in the process of reviewing our waste management system, where we will be working with some of the smaller councils, where we will be doing the separation from source, and hopefully, will also be acquiring vehicles that will assist the councils in the collection of waste after being separated.
“At the moment, we are collecting everything in the garbage compactor trucks that we have.”
