### Residents Urged Not to Leave Out Trash at Night
Tijuana— Residents have been reminded not to leave their trash out at night as it violates municipal regulations and hampers city cleanliness efforts. Martín Muñoz Avilés, the Delegate of Centro, highlighted the issue, indicating that a significant number of households engage in this practice.
“We need to dispose of our trash during the scheduled collection times,” Muñoz Avilés stated. The improper disposal habits have deep roots in various neighborhoods, resulting in animals rummaging through the garbage and scavengers searching for recyclable materials, further exacerbating cleanliness issues.
In most neighborhoods, the garbage truck visits only once a week, making it crucial for residents to adhere to the collection schedule to avoid littering problems and ensure a cleaner environment.
