The Rakiraki and Tavua Town Council each received a garbage compactor truck from the Minister for Local Government today.

While speaking at the handing over ceremony, Minister Parveen Bala says over the last three years a significant level of investment towards the purchase of Garbage Compactors has been made by the Government of Fiji with added support from the Government of Japan.

Bala says a total of four Garbage Compactor trucks worth $538,943 has been invested by the Government of Japan.

Seven trucks worth just over $1.09 million has already been provided by the Fijian Government.
