A small and medium-sized enterprise in Guantanamo supports the garbage collection on the streets.

The government of the city of Guantanamo, which has repeatedly shown its inability to manage the collection of solid waste, has had to resort to a SME to assist them in this vital task for public health.

The government journalist Miguel Reyes reported last Friday on Facebook that the SME Transnovoa contributed a truck to the sanitation of the city of Guantanamo, presenting this initiative as an achievement of non-state economic management.

Although the publication boasts an idea aimed at bringing health to the city, it also highlights the regime's inability to manage solid waste collection, as if there were an efficient system, the involvement of a private economic actor would not be necessary.

Also, the shared images suggest that the garbage had accumulated for several days without the government having found a solution.

Furthermore, Reyes indicated that "several trash bins were collected at the Cuartel and 14 Norte site" and acknowledged that the initiative is part of the city's sanitation strategy that is impacted by various epidemiological viruses, as a result of mosquitoes and poor sanitation.

The province of Guantánamo is one of the Cuban territories that has confirmed the circulation of the Oropouche virus in the population, so the contribution of the SME Transnovoa is part of the regime's desperate efforts to control this dangerous disease in the eastern part of the island.

In the comments section, Zulema Matos Columbié expressed the opinion that currently the city of Guantánamo is facing a situation she described as an "environmental disaster," attributing it to "those open-air garbage dumps."

In addition, he pointed out the lack of garbage bins at food vending sites as responsible and stressed that government inspectors must ensure their installation and maintenance.

Similarly, Marilyn Hamud emphasized that the current state of solid waste collection shows that "the State cannot handle everything, does not have the necessary resources to respond to so many demands, and the situation becomes chaotic. They do not have a solution at hand, and unhealthiness and epidemics are growing every day."

As a solution, he pointed out that the government should allow for the existence of a specialized small and medium-sized enterprise for garbage collection.

The scenes of accumulated garbage on the public roads are repeated in several Cuban cities.

Recently, a man denied that the city of Santiago de Cuba is one of the cleanest in the country, while also showing and denouncing the garbage dumps that abound in the historical center of the city.

In the video, the voice of a male person can be heard walking through several streets of the city while filming the accumulation of solid waste mixed with sewage waters, as published by the communicator Yosmany Mayeta on Facebook.
