gringal Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 My spouse just schlepped our accumulated garbage over to Constitution where he said there is no garbage out. Did the truck come early, or is there going to be another collection tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 When was this "communicated?" Too late for my entire neighborhood. Trash is everywhere. If anyone here thinks the kind of incompetence and corruption the unfortunate residents of the Municipio of Chapala are subjected to is common in Mexico that is not only insulting a lot of decently run localities with a lot less in resources than this one, it is pure nonsense. I just got back from a ten day moto tour covering over 3K kilometers and going as far south as Oaxaca and almost to Veracruz and driving through dozens of towns the size of this one and I never saw the kind of grunge and neglect we have had inflicted on us by this government. No wonder the Mexican community voted more than two to one to toss it. Not paying the landfill and letting the trash pile up is their farewell to us it seems. It is now over two and a half years since this has been going on and that doesn't even include the almost total lack of street maintenance over the same period. Thanks loads Javier I hope you have fun with our tax dollars. If anyone wants to organize a mass dumping of trash at the door of city hall you can count me in. Enough is enough. We have a right to be fed up with this terrible local government. Maybe a huge trash pile in their door will get their attention. Shame, shame on Chapala!

Fred Habacht Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Calling for damage to municipal property should certainly get someone's attention! Of course when they offer to jail you.....then you yell..."we are fed up." Fred Habacht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maincoons, the issue with the non=payment of dump fees and suspension of service to the municipio was posted in local papers and online sources at least 2 weeks ago. Yesterday early afternoon, Chapala posted the above notice re: suspension of service on their official Facebook page. A lot of expats didn't use Facebook "back home" and don't join the many local FB groups nor do they communicate via Whatsapp, but both are preferred tools here to interface between government, local businesses and businesspeople. It does very much allow one to stay with the info flow. (Not that the original post means anything...our trash did get picked up last night after this post and the worker says they are working again today to try to resolve the backlog.)
