Solid Waste Collection Project Launched in Vedado
Pedro Lizardo Garcés Escalona, president of the Rampa People's Council in the Plaza de la Revolución municipality of the capital, announced the launch of the Local Development Project (PDL) "El Rampeño" in its initial phase, aimed at efficient solid waste collection and raw material recovery.
The leader explained on his Facebook profile that the initiative seeks to generate employment in the community and improve the urban environment through active participation of residents, with support from the Party and the Government.
For its execution, thirty electric tricycles were delivered and a charging station with solar panels was installed—infrastructure that will power the vehicles and contribute clean energy to the national electroenergetic system.
The service will be organized under strict rules: container removal, fixed collection schedules at 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., and waste delivery at each household's door.
Four strategic points will be enabled for depositing bulky waste such as debris, pruning materials, or furniture, and dumping on street corners and public spaces will be prohibited.
Community inspectors will ensure compliance with the regulations, with authority to impose fines and refer repeat offenders to the competent authorities.
The monthly service cost will be 100 pesos per household, though exceptions are foreseen for vulnerable families, evaluated by district delegates.
Differentiated rates will apply for state and non-state entities based on the volume of waste generated.
Garcés Escalona stressed that citizen discipline and collective vigilance are essential to achieve a cleaner, more orderly neighborhood, and announced that the service start date will be communicated in a timely manner.
