Yacht Garbage Disposal
Ashore, there is only one place to dispose of yacht garbage – the skips located off the Fish Market Jetty
next to the Vegetable Market. These are reserved exclusively for yachties’ use.
Alternatively, yacht garbage may be delivered “at sea” to Daffodil Marine or other reliable water taxis;
charge usually $3.00 to $5.00 per bag. Dumping in unauthorized places is a prosecutable offence.
Help keep Bequia Clean and Green!

The ties of kinship, culture and history that connect Dominica and SVG run deep.
As Dominica continues to struggle to rebuild her economy, infrastructure and morale in
the wake of Hurricane Maria, St. Vincent & the Grenadines recognises that the need
for support from her Caribbean neighbours will remain for many months to come.
