Vicente Guerrero Goes Without Garbage Collection (El Vigia, 11/6/12 by Enrique Rojas)
Vicente Guerrero, BC - With the mechanical failure of the second and only garbage truck that collects trash in recent weeks, the municipal delegation is temporarily without the possibility of providing this service for itself.
Faced with this situation, and to avoid citizens claims of accumulated domestic waste, the town will seek to get a collector on loan, said Justin Herrera Martinez. The delegate said he would talk with the director of municipal public services, José de la Luz Valdez, to have a truck sent from the delegations of San Quintin and Ensenada.
He explained this support is essential to get reduce the backlog in service to sustainable levels, due to the large amount of garbage generated at the River every day. Herrera Martinez explained the second truck became disabled on Friday and since then the collection service has been suspended. This complicated the problem that already existed.
Settlers affected by the mechanical breakdown of the trucks mentioned that the lack of service in some areas of the delegation has lasted for several weeks and even months. This claim was rejected by the municipal delegate, who accepted that there was a deficiency in the collection, but clarified the problem has lasted for only “twenty days", but not months.
He said a less serious failure – the breakdown of the clutch on the first truck, collection could resume in the course of this week. The problem, he noted, is not the lack of the part, "which is already in the delegation", but the mechanic who can install it, which is difficult in itself “in just a few these days".
While this happens, reiterated Justino Herrera, an interim alternative will be sought to avoid the problem growing more than it already has. http://www.elvigia.net/noticia/falla-otro-cami-n-para-recolecci-n-de-basura
