**Tijuana City Hall Supports Sanitation Workers**
The administration led by the Mayor of Tijuana, Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, has responded promptly to the needs of the city’s sanitation workers. These workers collaborate with the Tijuana City Hall in collecting waste from various parts of the city. Josué Gutiérrez, the Director of Municipal Public Services (DSPM), emphasized that the Mayor’s directive is to coordinate and organize efforts to benefit residents, ensuring immediate attention to workers’ demands.
Sanitation workers requested the municipal government to issue dumping tickets so they wouldn’t have to pay fees when depositing waste at the landfill sites. In response, the Department under the Secretariat of Territorial, Urban, and Environmental Development provided each truck operator with 10 tickets per vehicle, enabling them to continue their essential work. Maintaining cleanliness and order in Tijuana is a collective responsibility.
Additionally, the meeting with the DSPM head resulted in establishing work sessions aimed at fostering closer relations and furthering actions for the benefit of both the workers and the community.
