The Dominican Republic’s National District municipal authority (ADN) is offering discounts for residents who wish to pay off their garbage collection debts.

Now under Mayor David Collado, the city government is advertising 70% discounts for residents who have owed money for more than two years, and 60% for residents with less than two years for clearing the account in cash.

It also has a second plan where debts can be paid in up to 12-month installments with a 30% discount on garbage collection debts.

Dominicans have been informed their payments can be made over the phone or by Internet banking including Scotiabank and other facilities or at ADN commercial offices. The discounts are offered until 30 January 2017.
