Bulk Waste Clean-up Begins
The Department of Environmental Health has begun the first week of its annual bulk waste collection in West Bay.
As the hurricane season approaches, the Cayman Islands Department of Environmental Health (DEH) is launching its annual bulk waste collection.
This crucial service helps residents clear out unwanted items, reducing potential hazards during storms.
The collection began on 5 May in West Bay and will continue through to the end of May, covering all districts in Grand Cayman and the Sister Islands.
Residents are reminded to place their bulk waste on the kerbside before their designated collection week. Bulk waste includes large items such as old furniture, appliances, and metal items.
It’s important to separate metal and vegetative waste from other bulk items. However, construction debris, hazardous materials, electronics, and tyres will not be collected.

Association for Cruise Tourism ‘deeply disappointed’ in referendum result
The Association for Cruise Tourism, which had been a leading advocate for building a cruise berthing facility in Cayman, issued a brief statement on social media expressing disappointment following the decisive Election Day defeat of the cruise pier referendum.
The question put to voters on 30 April — Should the Cayman Islands develop cruise berthing infrastructure? — was rejected by 68.9% of the Caymanian electorate who voted either yes or no to the question, rather than not ticking either box.
ACT said they respected the referendum outcome and thanked Caymanians who participated “in this vital exercise of democracy”.
