Garbage crisis in Los Cocos: Pedro Brand residents demand urgent solutions
The Los Cocos community, located in the Pedro Brand municipality, is going through a difficult health situation due to the constant accumulation of trash in its streets. Residents have raised their voices to denounce that the frequency of solid waste collection is completely insufficient, affecting the environment and the health of those who live there.
According to testimonies collected in the area, the garbage truck performs its work only once a week. This frequency has been described by residents as precarious, causing waste to accumulate for entire days in various parts of the sector, which generates sources of pollution, unpleasant odors, and a worrying image of abandonment.
We feel orphaned by the mayor; our complaints have not received the necessary attention nor an effective response from the municipal authorities.
Statement from the residents of the Los Cocos sector.
A call to municipal action
Given this situation, citizens have issued a direct call to the Pedro Brand City Council and the corresponding authorities. The main request is the immediate optimization of the cleaning service, asking that the personnel in charge visit the site to evaluate current conditions and establish a collection schedule that responds to the real needs of the population.
Community members warned that, if corrective measures are not taken in the short term, the accumulation of waste will continue to worsen, transforming into a public health problem of greater dimensions. The community remains waiting for a prompt intervention that guarantees the well-being and healthiness of its environment.
