The Municipality of Montevideo (IM) decided not to tender the waste collection work in the Centro, Cordón and Ciudad Vieja neighborhoods.
At present, this work is in charge of the company Consorcio Ambiental del Plata (CAP). However, the contract that currently governs will soon expire and, given this situation, the IM decided not to make the call to interested companies to comply with the service.
This decision was released by the Commune’s Information and Communication Division. “According to the criteria established in the Montevideo Más Verde environmental strategy, which put equity, differentiation and evidence at the center, for the benefit of the cleanliness of the city and therefore the well-being of the people of Montevideo, the Municipality of Montevideo resolved, before the current contract for the management of waste from the areas delimited by the streets La Paz, Miguelete, Bulevar Artigas and the Rambla de Montevideo, to not call for a tender, going on to directly control the cleaning and management of that area.”
Also, the commune reported on the formation of “an area of joint work with the company that currently provides the service.” The objective of the measure is “the orderly transition to a new system that preserves jobs.” In this way, it aims to involve “both the aspects of waste collection and urban cleaning.”
