Grenada Solid Waste Management Authority (GSWMA)

The Grenada Solid Waste Management Authority serves as the island's primary government agency responsible for comprehensive waste management services across all parishes and the sister islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique. Operating from Dusty Highway in Grand Anse, St. George, the authority provides essential services including regular household collection, special collection services, wood chipping, bulb crushing, and metal baling. Their mission focuses on improving quality of life for Grenadians while protecting and enhancing the environment through effective solid waste management. GSWMA operates ten collection zones covering the entire tri-island state, with scheduled pickup services managed by contracted collectors. The authority demonstrates commitment to sustainability through innovative initiatives like the Recycle OECS project aimed at reducing plastic pollution, community composting programs, and the RePLAST-OECS plastic recycling pilot project. They're transitioning from a linear to circular economy approach in waste management, with plans for a fully functional recycling center. The organization prioritizes public health protection, environmental stewardship, and stakeholder engagement while working toward their vision of exemplary waste management services that support sustainable economic development throughout Grenada.
