In the place it was possible to observe the accumulation of household waste on the ground without waterproofing, without a floor and in the open.
The director of Asco Urbano, Derlis Agustín Barrios, was present at the site, and he stated that supposedly the site functions as waste transfer unit and that they were accumulated due to a mechanical problem in the truck compactor, a situation that made transport impossible for its final disposal in a landfill belonging to the firm El Farol SA, located in the city of Villa Hayes.
Subsequently, the legal adviser of the Municipality of San Bernardino, Diego Fernández, appeared, who denied what the director of Aseo Urbano had said and stated that the place raided does not function as a waste transfer plant, emphasizing that the accumulation of waste occurred due to mechanical failure in the only compactor truck that the municipal institution has.
