Residents of San Nicolas are asking the authorities for urgent intervention to clean an open area on Caya Adolf van Nassaustraat that is gradually turning into an illegal garbage dump, 24ora reported on November 13.
The site, which was previously clean, is now full of waste, worrying the people who live in the neighbourhood. The area lies in a fully residential zone, and several residents pass it daily. During a visit to the site, Nelson ‘Speed’ Andrade of 24ora showed the amount of garbage that has accumulated there.
The community’s call is for Serlimar, the Department of Public Works (DOW) or the Bureau City Inspector to send a crew with a truck and the necessary equipment, including a bobcat, to carry out a complete cleanup of the site.
According to Andrade, residents watch the amount of garbage grow day by day, while their requests for attention have still not been answered. He also appealed to those dumping garbage to respect the area and avoid letting the place become a dump, emphasising that this kind of behaviour not only gives a bad image, but can also lower the value of properties in the neighbourhood.
The community hopes the responsible agencies will take action and send personnel to clean the area before the problem grows any bigger.
