In Colombia, Rionegro honored its street cleaning workers. In Argentina, Neuquén and Esquina are managing bulky waste and neighborhood cleaning, while Río Grande is set to open its first classified waste station in November through a private-public partnership with PIGSA. In Chile, La Serena is working to remove abandoned vehicles that serve as trash collection points, and Coronel has terminated a contract with a waste company following service disruptions and sanitary risks.

Additionally, in Spain, companies Fobesa and Fovasa have deployed special cleaning devices for summer festivals in Ontinyent and Villena.
