NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Since becoming the New Providence Ecology Park in 2019, over 80 acres of open waste have been covered, 75 Bahamians have been trained in solid waste and material management and over 100,000 loads of construction and demolition waste have been recycled.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Since becoming the New Providence Ecology Park in 2019, over 80 acres of open waste have been covered, 75 Bahamians have been trained in solid waste and material management and over 100,000 loads of construction and demolition waste have been recycled.
Five years down the line, the area is so transformed, the Bird Club of New Providence says the park contains birds they struggle to find elsewhere on the island.
In 2023 over 100 tons of glass were processed in a recycling program.
Geography teacher at Aquinas College, Brian Tappin, says his students were blown away on their last visit to the property.
Up next for the park is sustainable energy.
They hope to put a landfill-gas-to-energy infrastructure in place, turning methane gas being created by the landfill into sustainable power. This could reduce the country’s annual carbon output by an estimated 150,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
