Cuauhtémoc Tackles Five Illegal Dumpsites, Cites Over 660 for Littering

Authorities in the Cuauhtémoc alcaldía have intensified efforts against illegal waste disposal, clearing five clandestine dumping sites in the Morelos neighborhood. The operation, conducted by personnel from the General Directorate of Urban Services, took place overnight on Tenochtitlán, Peñón, Rivero, Jesús Carranza, Matamoros, and Toltecas streets.

Since the administration of Mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega took office, more than 660 people have been cited for illegally dumping trash. This crackdown is part of a broader initiative to combat the growing problem of waste accumulation in public spaces.

The recent brigade has been instrumental in removing approximately 35 tons of waste daily from 46 identified points throughout the alcaldía. Key areas targeted include the Morelos, Peralvillo, Ex Hipódromo de Peralvillo, Doctores, Obrera, Buenos Aires, and Algarín neighborhoods.

These actions have led to a significant reduction in illegal dumping sites, with their number decreasing by 41%. When the current administration began, over 300 such sites were registered; now, that number stands at 176. The General Directorate of Citizen Security has also participated in these operations, ensuring that individuals caught dumping illegally are referred to the Civic Judge.
