Axarquia News: Rincon de la Victoria approves private management for cleaning services

Rincon de la Victoria has approved the privatization of cleaning services in the municipality. The proposal is based on a study that recommended the separation of the cleaning of public buildings from the rubbish collection service.

The Town Hall approved private management for the service that is currently being carried out by the Company EMMSA. Councillor Sergio Díaz explained that after the previous contract finalised, a study was carried out to analyse the service. The study concluded that the most suitable alternative was direct management through a contract with a private operator.

According to the economic-financial study, the direct management of the cleaning service by the Town Hall would involve an investment of more than €5 million in machinery and facilities. Diaz indicated that the sum would mean an increase in debt for the public entity and would limit other municipal investments.

The mayor of Rincon Francisco Salado, highlighted the priority of improving and updating the municipal cleaning service and offering quality services to residents.  The administration announced they would immediately publish the contract for the service.
