The initiative arises after previous incidents with garbage trucks and neighborhood complaints, aiming to enhance the urban image. The new service will initially operate on Monday nights in the Gran Vía Parque area, with plans to gradually extend to other neighborhoods and avenues where its effectiveness is greater.
The service, which will operate on a trial basis and whose frequency may increase based on results, will be carried out at night to minimize disruptions to traffic, pedestrians, and commercial activity. The operation consists of two coordinated teams: a cleaning team with a water tank truck that moistens the road surface, and a mixed sweeping team with a mechanical sweeper and a van to collect waste.
The main objective of this measure is to remove ingrained dirt, eliminate persistent stains, and reduce bad odors. The operation involves four workers, a water tank truck, a sweeper, a van, and auxiliary tools.
The initial plan includes streets such as Avenida de América, Avenida de Cervantes, Paseo de la Victoria, República Argentina, Arruzafilla, Almogávares, Gran Capitán, Parque de las Setas, Manolete, Carlos III, La Viñuela, Barcelona, Cádiz, Granada, Ministerio, and Libia. The schedule will be adjusted according to detected needs.
The president of Sadeco, Miguel Ruiz Madruga, emphasized that this new system is the result of "active listening" and aims to "improve the service provided and the image of our city."
