Cleaning and sanitising the different neighbourhoods of the city of Ciego de Ávila is a task that has been most emphasised in recent days.

The real material limitations, specifically in terms of transport, limit the Communal Services organisation from taking on the collection of rubbish in short cycles, which leads to the formation of micro-dumps in central and peripheral points of the provincial capital.

A media solution to the problem is to call on the population in the people’s councils to clean streets, pavements, plots of land and all public spaces, and to make available the means of transport of some organisations, which sponsor each area of the city.

The fact that the residents themselves participate in the cleaning of their areas of residence should help to maintain the work done and avoid micro-dumps, which are sources of insects, rodents and insalubrity.

Cleaning and preserving the environment is essential for the good hygiene and aesthetics of each neighbourhood in Avila, and in this endeavour we must seek solutions and the contribution of the whole of society.
