This junk removal campaign began on Monday, June 16 and is expected to conclude Friday, June 27 after having gone through all the neighborhoods of the island, including Sac Bajo. The campaign is going house to house to remove any junk that may represent a potential mosquito breeding site.
After eight days of work, it is estimated that they have removed 30 tonnes of junk. On some days they have two vehicles and others they have three, which affects how many tonnes they remove. They expect to remove about 40 tonnes of trash and junk by the end of the campaign on Friday, after they visit the remaining neighborhoods of Ampliación de La Gloria, la Meteorológico and La Guadalupana, and a section of Punta Sur.
