The New Providence Ecological Park (NPEP) is leading the movement toward more sustainable, environmentally friendly waste management practices throughout The Bahamas. We have transformed what was once an “open waste” dumping ground into a clean, safe, and organized park, 100% compacted, capped, and contained. NPEP has a fertile future ahead, with key initiatives in the pipeline that will reap economic, social, and environmental gains for future generations of Bahamians.
NPEP shreds or grinds green waste and certain wood wastes, places the processed material in piles called “windrows,” and then, as needed, mechanically turns the piles to promote aeration that aids in the decomposition of the material.
Processing and Recycling of Construction and Demolition Debris – NPEP sorts this material, separating wood, concrete and metals.
NPEP receives and secures the handling, processing or disposal of Acceptable Waste Types.
Receipt and Secure Management of Petroleum Contaminated Soils (PCS) – NPEP has developed a rigorous receiving and handling protocol and set up a specialized receiving and treatment area for soils contaminated by hydrocarbons, usually from oil and gasoline spills.

The New Providence Ecological Park (NPEP) is leading the movement toward more sustainable, environmentally friendly waste management practices throughout The Bahamas.
We have transformed what was once an “open waste” dumping ground into a clean, safe, and organized park, 100% compacted, capped, and contained. With more than 300 acres of land and 65 Bahamians on staff, the site’s revitalization is quickly becoming an environmental model for the region. We are collectively guided by a results-driven culture, using simple, proven strategies appropriate for The Bahamas to deliver stable, consistent, and cost-effective solutions in the short and long-term. NPEP has a fertile future ahead, with key initiatives in the pipeline that will reap economic, social, and environmental gains for future generations of Bahamians.
Additional services to be added in the near future
NPEP will be constructing a brand new RDO to replace the existing drop-off facility for small private vehicles and trucks at the main facility entrance off of Tonique Williams-Darling Highway.
NPEP will design, build and operate a new on-site Material Recovery Facility (MRF) to sort and prepare recyclable commodities for reuse on-site, on island or transport for reuse elsewhere.
Currently NPEP receives electronics waste and disposes of it securely on-site. A new E-waste separation, sorting and packaging facility is being set up at NPEP for secure shipment of e-waste to regulated e-waste recyclers.
Part of NPEP’s mission is to reclaim some of the formerly contaminated property and turn it into a beautiful, safe public park and walking trail for the people of New Providence.
