After numerous complaints about the impact on tourism of unclean streets in Santo Domingo’s Colonial Zone, Dixi Sanitary Services announced yesterday the creation of a special unit that will remain full-time within the Zone to ensure that it remains clean. The unit will clean streets and sidewalks, prevent trash from accumulating on curbs and keep public trash cans in the area from overflowing. The unit will coordinate its work with the Association of Merchants of El Conde Street, one of the most vocal critics of the state of sanitation in the Zone. El Conde is the main shopping thoroughfare in the Colonial Zone.
