With the aim of providing greater autonomy in the management of each of Havana\u2019s 15 municipalities, the authorities have decided to disseminate the same number of Community Services enterprises in the city, which at present is suffering from serious deficiencies in solid waste collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was explained by Osm\u00edn Abel Camejo Dom\u00ednguez, vice president of the provincial administration body, in the local newspaper <\/span>Tribuna de La Habana<\/span><\/a><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The capital, where about 2.13 million inhabitants live and where an average of 24,000 cubic meters of garbage is generated daily, in recent months has received several donations of waste collection means of transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n

About 100 collection trucks donated by <\/span>Japan<\/span><\/a> have arrived on the island through the Japanese Agency for International Cooperation. <\/span>Austria<\/span><\/a> also donated another 10 trucks which were received last August.<\/span><\/p>\n

Out of the trucks received, 80 were assigned to the municipalities. There are also 40 dump trucks, 25 mini loaders (15 for the municipalities), 50 engine driven lawnmowers, 25 chainsaws and 15 vans.<\/span><\/p>\n

This would mean meeting the current need for equipment, one of the causes wielded to explain the current catastrophic situation of garbage collection in the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other reasons, according to the Havana authorities, are the lack of professionalism of the personnel, insufficient collecting tanks and social indiscipline.<\/span><\/p>\n

From now on, in each Havana territory there will be an Aurora Municipal Enterprise responsible not only for the garbage but also for urban furniture, parks and plaques, green areas, and burial and funeral services where they exist.<\/span><\/p>\n
