luvsdawgs Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 Another question, does anyone know why there are crews going down the streets of SAT and on its' malecon picking up trash? Is some VIP expected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajijicbound Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 The Queen of the Lake, the virgin of Zapopan, will be arriving around 10:30am Sunday the 10th. She probably won't be visiting San Antonio, but we will have big crowds this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvsdawgs Posted July 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Then the clean up should be on Monday, LOL. I believe they do walk her around SAT also. I do not know if they take her down to the malecon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Quillio Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 The garbage truck was out of commission for a few days, they're probably just catching up. The situation deteriorates in direct relation to missed pickup days, and they missed three or four by my count. LQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LQ They were not collecting garbage, they were on foot cleaning up the streets and Malecon. Picking up pieces of trash as they walked along, not collecting bags of garbage. I saw about 15 people doing this, on the beach as well. I think Ajijicbound is correct, they don't want the Virgin to see dirty streets, malecon or beach.

HoneyBee Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 Do you happen to have the Virgin's cell #. I have some streets in my area that could use her cleanup services. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 We definitely could use a visit from the Virgin and her street cleaners in the Pueblo Trashico, err Ajijic. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I thought it was obvious, so didn't elaborate. Trash not collected from the curb gets scattered by dogs and haphazardly supplemented by passersby. This creates more of a mess than resumed garbage truck collection can thoroughly remove, including along the malecon. In such case, workers round up the scattered debris. The more days trash sits on the curb, the more debris. LQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you've been here longer you'll know about IMPORTANT things like Virgin visits and the frenzy that surrounds. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can go out just about every day and pick up trash which humans tossed on the ground the previous evening. Beer cans, Styrofoam dishes and the like. Also, the truck cannot go along the malecon, you are thinking Ajijic. There is not much in SAT, at least where I was walking, that gets scattered by dogs. The people normally do not put garbage out until 7:30 in the AM or thereabouts. Yes pick-up hasn't been that good as of late, usually every other day. The crew were not from the garbage company, I think they were hired by the town. The garbage at the malecon and on the beach is from humans not using the trash cans.
