Carnival is now drawing to a close; on Wednesday morning Santa Cruz public workers gathered a total of 58.6 tons of waste following the big parade on Tuesday in the island’s capital. In the preceding days there was also plenty to clear up, Saturday 19.9 tons, Sunday 41.5 tons, Monday 33.4 tons in total 159 tons of rubbish.
It may seem a lot but the carnival goers have been recycling as well their packaging, cans and bottles.
630,000 square meters of road have been mechanically cleaned over the period and the city is being kept clean by an army of workers.
The cleaning service operating consists of 73 operators (23 drivers, nine skilled labourers, 34 assistants, 6 others and 1 mechanic). There are also up to 36 vehicles all performing different roles everything from sweep carts to a mobile workshop unit.
Similarly, in the week following the Sunday Piņata thorough cleaning will be made in all areas that have been subjected to greater number of people during the Carnival celebrations. The work will include the removal of all debris and stains that have been left, as well as an additional service of collection of waste generated in the Central Zone and other commercial areas. This service will be provided from 18th to 23rd February during the day.
