The Popular Party (PP) calls on the municipal government “to demand that the company that provides the waste collection service that meets the specifications». The concilor Francisco Hernandez He denounces that “the four trucks that FCC has to serve all of Güímar dump leachate into the streets of the municipality.” Namely, “contaminate”.
The mayor warns that the situation is serious “because this City Council pays 125,000 euros each month for a service that is not provided in more than 50% and that is provided in deplorable conditions.” This affirmation is supported by graphic documents of trucks that circulate leaving a trail of waste from the garbage that they remove from the containers.
Francisco Hernández is “tired” of raising the problem of cleaning and waste collection in plenary session “without receiving an answer or solutions to this problem.” The councilor of the Popular Group reproaches the municipal government for the lack of diligence and efficiency and points out the case of the Councilor for Citizen Security, Cándido Gómez. «He assures that he has transmitted to the headquarters of the Local Police the need for the agents to sanction those trucks that commit what the PP denounces, but that does not happen. Either the councilor is lying or they don’t listen to him », she adds.
The circumstance arises that one of the four trucks that the concessionaire has was acquired by the Güímar City Council and made available to the company due to the deficit of operational vehicles to provide the service, due to the multiple breakdowns that occur .
The Poular Party councilor is in favor of the City Council providing the service directly
The Güimarero City Council awarded the municipal solid waste collection and street cleaning service to Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas (FCC) in 2006 for a period of 10 years. «The contract expired in 2016, it has been extended given the inability of this Administration to prepare or dispose of the specifications to call the new contest. Specification that we have been pending for three and a half years ». With this panorama, Hernández Armas pronounces himself in favor of the Consistory being the one that assumes and provides the service.
The mayor, Gustavo Pérez, has repeatedly expressed concern about the state of the cleaning and waste collection service, even stating that “the cleaning contest is the biggest failure of this government group and the previous one.” The councilor is aware that he needs to improve and hopes that there will be progress in this regard in the coming months.
