The Teguise City Council has once again removed "all kinds of belongings, garbage and debris" that had been irregularly deposited again on the plot located next to the offices of the Local Police of Teguise and the municipal Social Welfare area, which in turn are adjacent to the Villa Health Center.
"After cleaning the area and conditioning the land, which has been carried out in collaboration with Roads and Works, it is a matter of days before this plot once again shows an unwanted image, with the accumulation of all kinds of elements that people discard irregularly, and in some cases with premeditation,” warned the Councilor for the Environment area, Isidro Alonso.
“No matter how much the City Council continues to reinforce the collection service, we need citizen collaboration,” Alonso declared in the face of the proliferation of garbage dumps in the municipality, and especially a point that he says “is continuously cleaned to recover its good condition, but which little by little becomes again an open-air deposit of old furniture, pruning remains and other effects, for which there are free home removal services.”
“Every year, the City Council undertakes awareness campaigns and we will never tire of inviting residents to correct certain bad habits, and of communicating what the telephone numbers are for these purposes,” says the mayor, recalling once again that Teguise has a door-to-door collection service for belongings and pruning in the municipality and on the island of La Graciosa, which can be accessed by calling 928 84 59 99 directly, or through the Green Line 900 120 190. In addition, he adds that there is also the Green Line App to send an image or comment of any incident, "which will be resolved as soon as possible."
The mayor of Teguise, Oswaldo Betancort, has expressed his absolute rejection of these behaviors “that repeatedly destroy the natural landscape of the municipality of Teguise.” “The objective of the Government group is to eradicate these illegal landfills and for this we will increase surveillance of these points where waste is usually thrown, and we also ask for citizen collaboration to detect offenders,” Betancort stated, asking residents “to call the Police (928 84 52 52) and report these events so that we can act on the spot.”
