The first stage of Ajijic’s pilot program for solid waste separation will go in effect next week, operated by the GIRRSA trash collection outfit in conjunction with Chapala’s Ecology Department.
Regular pickup of mixed garbage continues as usual Monday through Friday.
Garden refuse will be collected by Ajijic’s red truck every Thursday along customary routes. On Saturdays, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., GIRRSA will retrieve only throwaway plastic and metal items for recycling that are deposited at curbside.Selective pickup of other organic and non-organic materials will be phased in later.
