52 days after the destruction of Hurricane Maria, residents of dozens of municipalities, like Guaynabo, Yauco and San Juan, criticize the inaction of the local government and their mayors, regarding the collection of trash and debris specifically in the “poor” neighborhoods.
A week ago the pick-up brigades were mobilized to several areas, but the citizens allege that mostly, they did the cleaning themselves in certain houses and streets.
Community leaders allege the municipalities could not finish the debris collection because the ‘diggers’ were either damaged or they did not have enough machines. Apparently they only have one machine on average in each municipality.
Mountains of Trash bring even more problems
