Antigua residents report widespread waste accumulation issues

Residents and business owners in the municipality of Antigua are reporting significant issues with waste accumulation. The problem is particularly visible in Caleta de Fuste and Costa de Antigua (Nuevo Horizonte), where overflowing containers and refuse on public roads have been noted during the high tourist season in August.

Local complaints indicate that the issue extends beyond tourist areas to various towns within the municipality. While the recent change in local government has seen improvements in security and public transport services, residents report that no appreciable progress has been made regarding cleanliness and waste collection services.
