Mexico City garbage to be temporarily sent to Morelos

Mexico City authorities announced that part of the garbage of the capital city will be temporarily sent to Cuautla.

Mexico City mayor Miguel Ángel Mancera and Morelos governor Graco Ramírez said that the garbage dump “La Perseverancia” will receive between 1,500 and 1,800 tons of waste to help Mexico City cope with its environmental emergency.

Yesterday it was announced that four landfills in the State of Mexico (La Cañada and El Milagro in Ixtapaluca, Peña del Gato in Chicoloapan and Tersa del Golfo in Cuautitlán Izacalli) would stop receiving 8,000 tons of garbage from the capital city because they do not meet environmental standars.
