Overview
- The city handed over 50 Euro-5 refuse trucks to the 16 boroughs, a near 200 million‑peso fleet upgrade intended to cut emissions and improve collection.
- For every vehicle an alcaldía purchases, the central government will supply another, a cost‑sharing plan designed to retire obsolete units that date back decades.
- Household separation is now in force: recyclables and non‑recyclables are collected on Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays, with organics picked up on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
- Clara Brugada reaffirmed the goal for 2030 and said each replaced truck will be scrapped to prevent continued pollution from aging vehicles.
- Complementary measures include about 170 million pesos invested in Bordo Poniente composting machinery in 2024 and new projects for tire recycling, recycled asphalt and an adoquinera, addressing a waste stream of roughly 8,500 tonnes per day with current recycling at about 15–18%.
