Samoa Recycling & Waste Management Association

The first event is Samoa’s premier Vailima Marist 7s which begins in Apia tomorrow (Friday).

A Memorandum of Understanding for the partnership was signed between the Marist Sports Club President, Faimalomatumua Mathew Lemisio and President of SRWMA, Tuigamala Marina Keil yesterday (Wednesday).

The two organisations will be working closely to keep the country clean.

The Marist Club has also announced Tanoa Clothing Company as the silver sponsor and the official Elei provider for the Vailima Marist 7s tournament.

Prime Minister Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Dr. Sailele Malielegaoi, who is also patron of SRWMA, was not aware that the association is lobbying for a levy of this kind until yesterday.

Tuilaepa was informed of the association’s proposal during one of the Side Events to the Mid-Term Review of the Samoa Pathway meeting taking place at the TATTE Convention Center this week.

In his key note address to launch the associations 2018-2013 Strategic Plan, Tuilaepa if he had known that the association wanted a recycling fee or levy six months ago, it would have been law by today.
