The Municipal Special Urban Cleaning Authority of João Pessoa (Emlur-JP) has been conducting routine cleaning and waste collection services across various neighborhoods in the capital, including Valentina Figueiredo, Centro, and Tambaú. These operations involve standard household waste collection and the removal of irregularly discarded furniture and residues to prevent illegal dumping.

During the Brazilian Independence Day holiday, Emlur reinforced these operations to manage an increased influx of residents and tourists. Cleaning teams were deployed in shifts to maintain coastal areas between Bessa Beach and the Seixas region. Authorities have continued regular residential collection while urging the public to use appropriate receptacles to maintain cleanliness in public spaces and parks.
