| Sayulimpia Garbage Collection & Cleanup |
2009 Update: All garbage collection is currently done by GIRRSA under contract to the Municipal Government. The small truck that was purchased by GPS in 2007 for use in collecting garbage in difficult areas was also assigned to GIRRSA for the same purpose. GIRRSA pays for three employess that we, GPS, can use half-day in exchange for the use of the small garbage truck. A win-win for all involved!
Several years ago, the municipal g... full description |
