The Integral Public Cleaning System of León (SIAP) has launched a new campaign inviting citizens to exchange a marigold plant for a bag of recyclable material. This initiative, which began successfully at the municipal presidency during the last citizen Wednesday, will extend to various delegations of the city until the stocks of plants run out, the exchange locations will be announced through the official channels of the city council.
All marigolds are provided in pots and come from the municipal nursery of León. During the exchange, citizens must present themselves at the designated point with a black bag containing recyclable waste measuring 1x1.20 meters, in exchange for receiving a marigold plant.
SIAP has announced that this campaign will be valid until November 1, as long as the inventory of plants does not run out. Their offices located at Río Santiago 200, La Luz neighborhood, will serve as a collection point from Monday to Friday for those wishing to participate.
Additionally, SIAP has presented the program "I Want a Clean León" aimed at promoting waste separation in homes in the city, thereby improving solid waste management and reducing environmental impact. An online portal has been created for institutions and citizens to register and actively join this initiative.
During the presentation of the program, the director of SIAP, Fernando Trujillo, emphasized the importance of addressing the waste problem from the source, highlighting the significance of waste separation at home to achieve a cleaner and more sustainable city. As part of this campaign, various cleaning, separation, and waste recovery actions will take place, already counted with the participation of 171 institutions and more than 26,000 registered people.
