New campaign aims at collecting unpaid fees

The garbage collection company Aguaseo S.A. has undertaken a campaign in conjunction with the Instituto de Acueductos y Alcantarillados Nacionales (Idaan) to recover all of the unpaid fees for the collection of garbage in the city of Colón.

The campaign started in December and will continue through January. It has coincided with the increase in trash collections that normally occur during the holiday season.

A total of 15,386 tons of waste were collected in December, Aguaseo officials said. Unpaid fees amount to $6 million.
