The Councilor for Cleaning, Ruyman Cardoso, highlights that the streets have not been washed or swept “exhaustively” for more than five years.
Alejandro Marichal: “We started one of the three main objectives of the council: continuous washing of streets, replacement of containers and installation of litter bins.”
The Department of Cleaning Beaches, Roads and Public Buildings of the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council today began the extraordinary road cleaning plan 'Agüita y Soap', which aims to carry out a comprehensive deep cleaning of the streets of the municipality which, as As the Councilor for Cleaning, Ruyman Cardoso (CC), explains, “it had been more than five years since they had been washed or swept exhaustively.”
From 05:00 to 08:00 hours, hydro cleaner, water tank and sweeper, accompanied by operators from the City Hall's Cleaning UTE, worked in the Open Commercial Zone on Avenida de Gáldar. The actions will always be carried out at that time “to harm the neighbors as little as possible with the necessary road closures,” explained Cardoso. There, an exhaustive mechanical and manual cleaning of debris, gravel, soil and even grasses growing in the cracks of the pavement was carried out. Subsequently, degreasing products were applied to the pavement stains to be subsequently brushed. Finally, the entire area was subjected to a mixed washdown with pressurized water projection to eliminate the stains and transport the remains to the nearest sewer; The work concluded with a review of the area with water driven from the tanker vehicle with a pressure pump.
The first deputy mayor, Alejandro Marichal (CC), highlights that with this first action, one of the three main objectives defined by the Department of Cleaning is launched: “the 'Agüita y soap' campaign was born to respond to the absence of a service that had not been carried out for years and with the intention of making it a daily action and not one-off, as to date.” Marichal points out that along with the washing and pressure cleaning of the streets, the department is working on improving the garbage collection service, with the replacement and replacement of containers, as well as on the improvement and beautification of the collection points and the installation of trash cans.
The mayor of Cleaning clarifies that in this first “battle” not all the streets of the municipality will be cleaned, but “an improvement in the image of the main roads of the municipality” will be achieved. Thus, during the month of September these actions will be undertaken every Wednesday, once a week and, from October to December, the cleaning days will be doubled, acting in this way in San Fernando, Tablero, Castillo del Romeral, Fataga, Tunte, El Pajar , Aldea Blanca and Playa del Inglés.
The Department of Cleaning asks citizens for "maximum collaboration" to clear vehicles from the areas in which the action is planned and announced, so that "operators and machinery can work in the most efficient way possible," it requests. the councilor of the area, Ruyman Cardoso.
