The need to establish a special system for these days is a consequence of the increase in normal activity in the city and the greatly increased waste generated.
If a normal day the cleaning services collect an average of 12 or 15 tons of waste, the day of the Bando de la Huerta can exceed 87 tons and more than 40 tons after the Burial of the Sardine.

The reinforcement cleaning teams, both in the neighborhoods and in districts, will begin their work approximately one hour after the beginning of the procession so that the streets look clean as soon as possible.
In the districts a special service of review prior to the parades has been foreseen and during normal service hours the cleaning of its roads will be carried out.
Increased influx, more needs
As in previous years, it will be easy to collect waxes to place on the candles, inviting their use to avoid spillage on the pavement.
In this way, in addition to simplifying the cleaning work, possible accidents among pedestrians are avoided.
"Our goal is for the city to show its best image during these days, responding to the needs of the largest influx of people on the street, in addition to facilitating the task to the brotherhoods, we must be prepared so that the services work perfectly, both at Easter and Spring Festival, and, as always, counting on the collaboration of citizens.
