Garbage receptacles will be moved out of Market Square in an attempt to spruce up one of the island's top historic districts.
The Department of Public Works will remove the receptacles near the Friendly Bar on August 4, DPW Assistant Commissioner Wayne Callwood announced Monday.
Another factor motivating the move is there are no residences in the immediate and the surrounding commercial establishments, under V.I. Code, are responsible for the disposal of waste generated while conducting business.
DPW and the V.I. Police Department will monitor the area to ensure no garbage is dumped on the street after the receptacles are moved.
