The mayor of Caracas, Carmen Meléndez, announced the beginning of the special deployment of the Solid Waste Collection Plan in the Venezuelan capital, as part of a set of operational strategies to minimize waste generation and efficiently manage its collection.

From Hugo Chávez Park, Coche parish, Meléndez stressed that “this plan seeks the sanitation and beautification of our city, facilitating elements such as the implementation of containers and the organization of cleaning crews in the 21 main avenues.”

In addition, he specified that the plan includes the use of compactor trucks and the distribution of containers in avenues, cleaning channels and drains before the rainy seasons, to avoid risks, with the removal of vegetable waste and solid debris from main avenues.

The official highlighted coordination with the communes and communal councils for the maintenance of the intervened areas and stressed the importance of citizens committing themselves to the success of the plan. “We want a city with a new face, clean, impeccable; a face of conscience,” he remarked.
