Taxi drivers cleans Jack's Hill.

taxidrivers12092021PHILIPSBURG:--- On Saturday, September 11th, 2021 a group of taxi drivers representing the Dutch St. Maarten Taxi Association, Airport Taxi Association, and Down Town Taxi Association came out to help clean up the Herald Jack lookout point that is frequented by the island's visitors and used as a stop on tours.

Amongst the rubbish many face masks, plastic bags, glass bottles, napkins, foam food containers, cardboard boxes, and some hurricane debris from Irma were removed.

It took 2 dumpster loads and 3 trucks to dump the amount of rubbish that the taxi drivers were able to take on. Unfortunately, the lookout point is still riddled on its hillside with rubbish in areas that were difficult to get to.

It is evident the people dump bags of garbage in this area. And duly noted that debris from passing trucks often blows off into the hillside. Citizens of St. Maarten should be cautious of how their actions affect the island's main industry.

Thanks to the teamwork executed by the drivers, our visitors can now take photos without rubbish being a background highlight.

The taxi Associations are looking forward to continuing clean-up efforts.

The taxi Associations are thanking all of the members who came out and made an enormous dent in the clean-up. Thank you to Lucas for bringing us water, Khalil of 88.3fm for helping, and Mr. Peterson for the dumpster.

A special thank you to Mr. Ashton Gumbs, taxi 444 for bringing public awareness to this issue. Mr. Gumbs has made it his personal duty to also clean up the lookout point over Great Bay when necessary.

On Sunday the team went to Mullet Bay to cut the branches from the trees that were an obstruction to traffic. Permission was granted.
