Overview
- The Ministry of Environment formalized the measure through Resolution No. 00361-2025-MINAM, citing a partial cessation of solid‑waste operations and setting a 60‑day term.
- The collapse followed the December 12 rescission of the private operator’s contract, which left the municipality with limited capacity to maintain collection and transport.
- The Carabayllo municipality must submit a detailed Plan of Action within seven business days and provide weekly progress reports while receiving technical assistance from Minam.
- The Health Ministry, through Digesa and Diris Lima Norte, has begun inspections, including at Hospital Nacional Sergio E. Bernales, to verify proper handling of hazardous medical waste.
- Mayor Pablo Mendoza announced the arrival of six collection compactors this week and signaled a move away from outsourcing, as the resolution preserves municipal liability and enables oversight by the Comptroller and other regulators; Lima’s metropolitan and regional bodies are tasked with complementary support.
