St. Paul MP and Foreign Affairs Minister E.P. Chet Greene has announced the arrival of two new garbage trucks to enhance waste collection and support a sustained community beautification program in his constituency.

Greene made the announcement during Monday’s reopening of the Cobbs Cross Clinic, describing the investment as part of a long-term plan to improve public health and sanitation across St. Paul.

“I’m pleased today to announce the recent acquisition of two garbage trucks to support our vision of perennial cleanliness and beautification of our St. Paul community,” Greene said. “We are confident when we declare that a healthy community is a clean community, and a clean community is a healthy community.”

The trucks will serve areas including Cobbs Cross, Falmouth, English Harbour, and Piccadilly. Greene said maintaining a clean environment is essential to community health and complements the reopening of the new clinic, which he described as “a symbol of progress and partnership.”

He urged residents to take pride in their surroundings and protect community assets. “This is your investment,” he said. “We’ve already begun efforts to ensure its surroundings are as pristine as the interior.”

The St. Paul MP said the initiative reflects the government’s broader commitment to linking healthcare improvements with environmental stewardship and civic responsibility.
