The city implements a special operation of daily washings until October. The measure aims to improve hygiene and reduce odours in the streets during the summer.
Alcalá de Henares has launched an intensive urban cleaning plan that includes daily washings, a measure that will extend until October. This initiative, managed by Valoriza, the company responsible for street cleaning services, responds to the need to keep the streets clean and fresh during the hottest months of the year. With rising temperatures, odours in certain areas tend to intensify, prompting the local administration to reinforce its efforts in this area.
Since early May, the operation has been working with an approach adapted to summer weather conditions. The washings are carried out daily and cover the entire city without being limited to specific areas. This allows teams to respond quickly to the needs detected in each area, prioritising those requiring more urgent attention.
The use of tank trucks and pressure washers is essential for carrying out these tasks. These vehicles allow for cleaning different types of surfaces and are crucial for effectively addressing the accumulation of dirt caused by the heat. Additionally, deodorising products are being used at strategic points to mitigate unpleasant odours associated with summer.
Aside from the reinforcement in washings, the regular cleaning service also continues its normal course. Special interventions are an integral part of the seasonal plan designed by Valoriza to adapt to environmental variations affecting public hygiene.
The implementation of these methods aims not only to improve urban aesthetics but also to ensure adequate health conditions for all citizens and visitors. Compared to previous years, when such exhaustive measures were not applied during the summer, this year a notable improvement in the general perception of cleanliness in Alcalá is expected.
The team in charge evaluates daily the areas most affected by the heat and adjusts its planning as necessary. This proactive approach allows for optimising resources and ensuring that every corner receives appropriate attention without wasting water or other supplies.
With this strategy, Alcalá de Henares seeks not only to face the challenges of summer weather but also to establish a high standard in urban maintenance. The combination of modern technology and responsible practices promises to positively transform the urban environment during these critical months.
Residents can observe how these actions improve their daily quality of life while enjoying public spaces without concerns related to odours or accumulated dirt. For those interested in learning more about these initiatives or reporting problematic areas, they can visit the official website of the City Council where they will find additional information on how to collaborate with urban maintenance.
