          Lucia’s environmental integrity and the health of her
        
        
          people through the provision and management of an
        
        
          integrated system of public education and awareness,
        
        
          and for the collection, treatment, recycling, and dis-
        
        
          posal of solid and hazardous waste.”
        
        
          Dunley Auguste is SLSWMA’s General Manager. Re-
        
        
          cently, Business View Magazine spoke to Auguste
        
        
          about the Authority’s role in fulfilling its mandate and
        
        
          the general situation of solid waste management on
        
        
          the island of Saint Lucia. The following is an edited
        
        
          transcript of that conversation, with additional written
        
        
          answers to queries we posed to Auguste, previously.
