The Municipal Government Department carried out a comprehensive intervention to address the accumulation of waste on a property located on 40th and 42nd Streets in the Jesús Carranza neighborhood.
As part of the “Mérida Limpia” strategy, a total of eight tons of trash that had accumulated over several years was removed, according to a statement.
“This problem had been repeatedly reported by residents, who were dealing with unpleasant odors and the presence of harmful wildlife that compromised their quality of life.”
Several municipal agencies, including Civil Protection, Public Services, and the DIF (National Institute of Natural Resources), participated in this cleanup.
During the intervention, the Animal Protection Unit rescued two dogs, six kittens, and two adult cats. The Mérida City Council has addressed similar situations in various neighborhoods such as Pacabtún, Centro, Chenkú, Madero, Juan Pablo II, Mayapán, Cordemex, Nora Quintana, Xoclán, Roma, and Miraflores, the press release states.
These initiatives seek not only to improve environmental conditions in our communities but also to promote animal welfare and public health, it explains.
A similar operation was carried out at the beginning of March on a property located on 79th Street between 44th and 46th Streets in the city center, where eight tons of accumulated waste were also removed. In this report, the trash was found inside and outside the property, obstructing the sidewalk and pedestrian traffic. During the cleanup, four dogs were found, one of them in poor health, so the Animal Protection Unit (UPA) intervened.
