HIBAPRESS – Khalil Fazzazi
Laayoune city is experiencing issues related to household waste collection in a number of neighborhoods and streets, with varying frequencies of garbage truck passages between main thoroughfares and alleys and secondary streets. This raises questions about the regularity of sanitation services and their responsiveness to the needs of the residents.
According to available data, garbage truck passages are concentrated on main streets, while a rotation system is adopted in a number of alleys, neighborhoods, and secondary streets, especially in the eastern part of the city, including Tantan Street and the neighborhoods of Al-Wifaq, Al-Wifaq Al-Madina, Al-Duwayrat, March 25th, Al-Awda, and Al-Raha.
This situation raises concerns about the potential accumulation of waste at some points, especially in areas that do not benefit from regular garbage truck passages. This could affect the cleanliness of public spaces and the quality of daily life for residents.
The importance of this issue is not limited to the aesthetic aspect of the city, but is also linked to public health and the environment, making the regularity of waste collection and the balanced distribution of sanitation services among different neighborhoods a matter that requires follow-up and attention.
Given these facts, the need arises to clarify the waste collection program adopted in various neighborhoods of Laayoune, its suitability for the population density and the volume of waste produced, as well as to identify the reasons for the varying frequency of truck passages between main streets and internal residential areas.
Residents await clarifications from the authorities responsible for managing the sanitation sector, along with practical measures that ensure the regularity of collection operations and improve the level of services in various neighborhoods of the city, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of public spaces and meeting the expectations of citizens.
