“Every day we manage to remove 1,200 tons of garbage from the neighborhoods, we have a ton pending and we are working to see how a new method is designed that allows us to evacuate the 1,300 tons that are produced daily in the capital. Easter holidays and we are going to work to ensure that garbage does not proliferate on those days, at the same time we are working on cleaning the channels and the micro-dams that we are already finishing ”.

“There are places where trucks cannot enter, in those cases we have established deposits made of concrete so that the population gets to leave the garbage, construction waste and tree pruning garbage that cannot be carried in the truck, we must deposit them there so that we can remove it with the appropriate machinery ”.
