"In Cs we want to solve this problem;
and although we are aware of the efforts of the municipal technicians and workers of the contractor, we also know that there is still a lot to do and that it is necessary to promote actions and policies aimed at raising awareness and combating uncontrolled landfills and reducing the negative effects on the environment and other possible sources of contamination, "he said.
