Overview
- The new program covers homes, schools, businesses and offices across the capital beginning on the first day of 2026.
- The scheme requires separation into organics, inorganic recyclables and inorganic non‑recyclables, with a collection calendar that assigns organics to Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; recyclables to Monday and Wednesday; and non‑recyclables to Friday and Sunday.
- The government announced a 250 million peso coinvestment to bolster collection, with 34 trucks already bought by boroughs and 34 more to be supplied by the city.
- AGIR, now formally installed, will lead implementation under Jefa de Gobierno Clara Brugada, with Environment Secretary Julia Álvarez Icaza as technical secretary and cabinet secretaries as members.
- The administration targets transforming 50% of waste by 2030 through composting, recycling and waste‑derived fuels, while reporters note unresolved enforcement details, required worker training and processing‑capacity upgrades including at Bordo Poniente.
