Overview

• Starting in September, collection trucks will accept only one waste fraction per assigned day, with households required to separate into organics, recyclables and non-recyclables, and crews allowed to refuse off-schedule bags.
• The city plans to unveil the 'Separa en 3' campaign in October and to stand up the new Agencia de Gestión Integral de Residuos (AGIR) to coordinate the system.
• A 405‑million‑peso package will modernize the Bordo Poniente composting plant to double capacity to 2,000 tonnes per day and add four composting plants in Xochimilco, Tláhuac, Milpa Alta and Tlalpan.
• Additional projects include up to 10 hydrothermal carbonization modules and a tire‑treatment plant, while 34 collection vehicles have already been purchased for roughly 85 million pesos.
• On‑the‑ground checks report mixed household refuse and re‑mixing in trucks in areas including Santa Fe, Benito Juárez and Coyoacán, highlighting practical hurdles to meeting the 2030 target.
