A reader has contacted La Voz to report the poor condition of four containers that have all the pedals broken to open the lids on Aniagua street, in Arrecife.
The neighbor has tried to contact the city council to have them repaired or replaced with others. "I have been calling the Arrecife City Council for several weeks and the switchboard answers me perfectly but I never manage to speak with those responsible for the garbage area," he says.
In addition, according to him, the malfunction of the containers complicates their use for some citizens. "The four pedals are broken and I have seen how two elderly people tried to lift the lid with their hands and one of them hurt their shoulder," he declares.
This problem leads to a bad image for the city, since "it leads to people choosing to leave garbage bags on the ground, outside the container," says the reader.
