How many tons of garbage do tourists generate in Mazatlán?
Up to 60 tons of garbage, per day, are collected in the tourist strip of the port of Mazatlán in what this Holy Week 2021 represents, and it has been necessary to carry out tasks continuously, both with the cleaning brigades and the same trucks, reported José Antonio González Olague.
The director of Public Services in the port pointed out that fortunately vehicular traffic, mainly in the golden zone, has not been so heavy, unlike other holiday periods, which has allowed the collection trucks to avoid cleaning tasks and not take so long to take the waste away.
“As for our own collection, we are doing every four hours in everything that is the tourist strip without neglecting the city at all, it is progressing well, so that until now we have not had problems, it has been a little slower, in what is the tourist strip from 58 to 60 tons is being produced ”.
He pointed out that in recent days, with the increase in the influx of tourists, Public Services personnel have also activated the work both on foot and in the same units.
“On foot, we bring a group of 115 people, and apart from the collection trucks, with the collection trucks we are covering from El Faro to Cerritos, it has been very friendly for us in some way, because we have capacity.”
He indicated that the weekend will be one more test for them, in the work, since it implies not only collecting waste, but returning the sand that is scattered on the boardwalk, and the street after the bathers leave the beach and that work is also carried out today.
