The mayor of San Miguelito, Irma Hernández, reported that meetings and technical tables will continue today along with a tour of different points. On the other hand, the mayor stated that since November, Revisalud, the current company, reduced the frequency of collection, causing the problem to grow. 'December is the month where the most garbage is generated and even so the company practically jumped ship before the contract ended,' the official told Telemetro Reporta. Meanwhile, Hernández requested the support of the population and asked not to let unknown people handle the waste and to pay the fee, which is $4 monthly. 'We need the collaboration of the inhabitants of San Miguelito,' she added. Until January 18, the Urban and Domestic Cleaning Authority (AAUD) will support the district in the collection of waste and debris, following the instruction from President José Raúl Mulino, to avoid a health crisis. The operations are carried out from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The mayor of the San Miguelito district, Irma Hernández, explained how the cleaning operations are progressing in the district and pointed out that today the companies that will be in charge temporarily will tour different points. Hernández reiterated that starting this January 19, three companies will take over the service, which was divided into three zones according to their urban and geographical reality, with the objective of bringing order to a problem that has lasted 25 years. The mayor detailed that the district was divided into red, blue, and green zones. 'Each of these zones was studied and has its own particular urban and geographical characteristics; we know that we have a zone that has many sidewalks and a zone that has a lot of commerce and another that is only for residents, so there is a response for each of these zones and three companies will come for each of them,' she expressed. In addition, she reported that she has already had a first meeting with the companies and councilors of each zone.
