The Urban and Household Sanitation Authority (AAUD) has confirmed its new trash collection schedule for Panama’s San Miguelito District will become permanent. Officials announced the decision after a two week evaluation period, citing improved coverage across all district neighborhoods despite ongoing resident compliance issues.<\/p>\n
Collection times will remain between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. daily without a fixed hourly schedule for each zone. The frequency varies by area, with some neighborhoods receiving daily pickups due to higher waste generation. Enrique Martinez, the AAUD spokesperson for the San Miguelito District<\/a>, said the adjusted system has now reached every corner of the municipality.<\/p>\n “We have impacted every point in the San Miguelito District with waste collection,” Martinez stated. [Translated from Spanish]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n He urged residents to be attentive throughout the entire daytime window for collection vehicles. The permanent schedule follows what authorities call a successful pilot phase that started approximately fifteen days ago.<\/p>\n Despite the broader district progress, officials identified ongoing problems in specific areas like the torrijos carter<\/a> neighborhood. A recent site visit revealed residents continue dumping garbage outside designated collection points. This persists even after the installation of new collection tanks and site improvements conducted by multiple agencies.<\/p>\n\n
