Overview
- Municipal cleanup teams collected more than 850 tonnes of solid waste in the Cercado de Lima during the early hours of Jan. 1.
- Over 300 workers, two wash cisterns, five compactors and two front loaders sustained operations across six zones.
- Crews extinguished about 62 waste-burning points as part of street sweeping, washing and collection efforts.
- The heaviest loads were in Barrios Altos and Mirones Bajo (about 200 tonnes each), with more in the Centro Histórico (150+ tonnes) and around 100 tonnes in Santa Beatriz, Chacra Ríos and Cipreses.
- The municipality said the effort restored order after celebrations and contrasted the surge with an estimated 650 tonnes generated around Christmas in the Gamarra area.
