Santo Domingo – In a significant move to bolster municipal cleanup efforts during the festive season, the Dominican Republic’s Presidency’s Executive Unit, Eco5RD, has introduced the Christmas Cleaning Route in the Eastern region. This initiative, part of the broader ‘Government With You’ program, has already been operational in San Cristóbal and Los Alcarrizos and is now expanding to La Romana, Hato Mayor, and Higüey. Carlos Pellerano, Director of Eco5RD, emphasized that this effort reflects President Luis Abinader’s unwavering commitment to municipal development, transcending political affiliations to ensure all municipalities benefit equally. The program’s primary goal is to maintain clean, safe, and orderly public spaces, enhancing the quality of life and mobility for residents during the holiday season. Over 37 solid waste trucks, adorned with festive Christmas lights and operated by uniformed personnel, will work overnight to minimize disruptions and maximize efficiency. Pellerano confidently stated that Higüey and the Eastern region will be ‘spotless’ this Christmas. The initiative’s launch saw the participation of Mayor Karina Aristy, municipal council members, and representatives from the Catholic Church and civil society, underscoring the community-wide support for this endeavor.
