Garbage pick-up discussion

I saw Harry's garbage pick-up notification on TOB. WTF is that posting talking about. I have (including today) garbage pick-up on 6 days per week. I live on the same street as MC except about 4 blocks farther west (very near the LCS). So what gives?

I think things are confused but you can say adios to 6 day a week garbage pick up.. It is going to be 2 or 3 times a week which is no big deal if people do not continue to put their garbage out every day.. If they do things will get worst and there will be more complaints..

Well I guess we will wait and see. It would of course be nice to know what 3 days it is. Then again we have always had 6 days even when MC is complaining that he has nada.......go figure.

Maybe the drivers read both boards and have decided from there......jajaja.

I was on 16 de Sept. yesterday behind a truck picking up trash which had turned onto that street from the street that runs alongside Farmacia Guadalajara (can never remember the name of it) so it missed MC's house.

Maybe Harry needs to remind the powers that be that Ajijic is where the officers live while the enlisted me live in Chapala so Ajijic should get much more service. That still stands as the most arrogant, pompous crap I've ever seen on chapala.com.

The community knows who MC is and where he lives and about all the complaining that he does about the community and have decided it's payback time? Yeah, I know... a ridiculous conspiracy theory. But, hey, if CBob gets pick up why doesn't MC?

The squeaky wheel gets the most grease.....or sometimes....NOT.

Meanwhile just ask the garbage guys which 3 days they will be picking up the garbage.. Not too complicated and that should get the right answer..

If anyone does find the answer, perhaps they'd share it with those whose casa's location is far enough off the street that they can't hear the garbage truck arrive.

I sent an e-mail to Gloria in the municipal hall. She is the "gringo rep" who took care of our speed bump problem last year.

I received a response from Gloria. She said "Please ask Chunny Medeles the Delegado of  Ajijic". I guess the garbage pick-up is all arranged at the local level here.

I have sent a message to Chuni via Facebook.

What kind of a BS is that ? The town has new schedules and rules about the garbage pick up and no one can give details? Only Chuni knows??

Ahhhh.......there is no "new schedule or rules" yet. They are still picking up 6 days per week at my place as they have for the past 5 years that I have been here. Harry is the one who said a new schedule was coming. This is what we are trying to find out.

Right now the garbage people do not know anything so it is business as usual.. they will be the ones who know for sure..

half of the garbage truck are broken down, Chapala does not have the money to fix them.

We are half a block behind Telmex...now getting irregular pickup....about every other day.

Here is the latest on the garbage situation complete with new PU schedule:

Translation:

Arturo Ortega (Ajijic, Jal). -The delegation of Ajijic implemented dates and times for the garbage collection in Central, North and South of the delegation which will begin to apply from Monday, July 24.
The delegate, Jesús Ernesto "Chuni" Medeles Córdova clarified that the delegation will take care of some routes of collection in the population in support of the municipal Directorate for public toilet to clean the streets of the downtown area early.
In this sense "Chuni" ahead of the Red truck will take care of the garbage collection in households in the area from Monday to Saturday, so citizens take out the garbage to be collected from 7:00 in the morning and will include streets, Galeana to Aquiles Serdan and Felipe Ángeles and Angel Flores streets.
Yard waste collection routes will begin from Thursday to Saturday so that people take out the garbage from 11:00 in the morning.
Thursday route will go through the streets Ocampo, Juan Álvarez, Guadalupe Victoria, parish and Hidalgo to conclude in the 6 corners Constitution.
Route of the Friday gathering will take place through the streets: Zaragoza, Rio Bravo, Ocampo, private Ocampo, freedom, independence and September 16.
The garden waste collection route, Saturday days; you will take place through the streets of the North of the town from Emiliano Zapata, Encarnación Rosas, extension Galeana, Galeana, Javier Mina, Las Salvias, Angel Flores and February 5.
The rest of the household trash collection routes will be borne by the Directorate for public toilet, reiterated the delegate of Ajijic, who added that this address will be responsible for setting schedules and routes that are needed.
Likewise, he said that more than 50 signs will be installed to demarcate the collection routes and urged the population not to leave trash in the corners but outside their homes for a timely collection.
The delegate reported that people who take out the garbage once the truck has passed, will become creditors to fines under existing income law, laid down in the regulation of public toilet and urban image.
Finally, the delegate recommended to citizenship to taking out the garbage of households separated in organic, inorganic and health in order to expedite the collection and prevent the blockage of the passage of vehicles through the streets by the passage of the truck.

It looks like my street that has had pickup for 17 yers no longer has it unless we dump it on Ocampo.
If you read today's Guadalajara it is even more confusing. than the one Bob just copied.
Someone put Chuni and the presidente out in bolsas and let's see if they get picked up. It could be the most enlightening pick up in years.

Well I suppose you should call Chuni and ask him about that.
