Colón Municipality Organizes Cleanups Before Christmas

The authorities of Colón and community leaders are carrying out large-scale cleanup operations in various districts of the city, including Cristóbal Este, to ensure cleanliness for the Christmas season. Heavy machinery is involved in the work.


The public is advised not to litter in vacant lots, medians, gutters, parks, streets, or avenues. Meanwhile, the municipality of Colón, with the support of community leaders, is promoting cleanup campaigns in Cristóbal Este, including the Villa del Caribe community. The work recently began and is expected to continue, with the next step scheduled for Tuesday to ensure that communities have a clean environment for the Christmas season. In parallel, garbage trucks are maintaining their scheduled routes. The waste collection company is focusing on recovering waste accumulation points. This initiative, carried out in collaboration with community leader Johnny Valencia, aims to keep roads, ditches, and public areas clear of trash and bulky waste. These operations involve operational personnel with the support of heavy machinery, including dump trucks and an excavator. On this occasion, the work was concentrated in the city center and will continue along the Trans-Isthmian Highway and other sectors of Colón. The waste collection company Aguaseo S.A., responsible for waste collection in the district of Colón, is carrying out an operation called "Navidad 025", while the municipality of Colón announced cleanups at various points, starting in the Cristóbal Este district.
