National District Mayor David Collado has announced an unprecedented negotiation in the contracts for garbage collecting in the capital city. He said the renegotiation means considerable savings for the city government and a reduction in the debt inherited from the previous administration.
The debt with one of the companies, Disposición Sanitaria Capital (DSC), dropped from RD$481 million to RD$121 million. The company had been offering the service since 2006.
In a previous contract negotiation, with another company, more than RD$80 million of debt was eliminated.
The Mayor said savings are now RD$1.3 billion up to the end of the contracts that will be in 2023.
