Press Release From The NSWMA- April 4, 2026
The National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) is advising the public that a fire was detected earlier today, April 4, 2026, at the Retirement Disposal Site in St. James.
The fire is located along the edge, on the right side as one enters the disposal site. The Jamaica Fire Brigade responded promptly and is currently on location working alongside NSWMA personnel to bring the situation under control.
Teams are also making efforts to cover the affected area with marl as quickly as possible to minimize the impact of smoke on nearby communities.
Presently, the disposal site is very soggy due to recent rainy weather conditions, making it difficult for trucks and heavy-duty equipment to navigate the space. Nonetheless, the team is working assiduously to bring the fire under control.
While the cause of the fire remains unknown, the NSWMA wishes to assure the public that this matter is being managed at the highest level by its Landfill Director, Mr Dave Powell.
Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.
