Los Cabos keeps up branch and junk removal by neighborhood; requested at 624 146 7600

The Los Cabos city government is keeping its permanent branch and junk (cacharros) removal program active across the municipality's neighborhoods, with recent work in the Ampliacion Santa Rosa neighborhood, the General Directorate of Public Services reported. The service collects pruning debris and unused items that build up in yards, sidewalks and lots.

According to the agency, residents can request pickup or report accumulations at (624) 146 7600 and at presidencia@loscabos.gob.mx. Authorities asked people not to leave branches or junk in public spaces outside this program, to avoid blocking traffic and littering streets.

The program's practical value grows at this time of year. After the recent rains in the municipality, junk items — tires, buckets, bottles and containers — collect standing clean water and become breeding sites for the mosquito that transmits dengue, so clearing them from yards and rooftops is a direct health measure as well as a cleanup.

Along with requesting removal, it helps to turn over or empty any container that holds water, cover rooftop tanks and change pets' water bowls — steps that break the mosquito cycle within days.

Branch removal also lowers risk in cyclone season: loose wood and foliage become projectiles in high winds and clog gutters and drains during heavy rain. Keeping the front of the house clear helps water flow and reduces risk in the next storm.

The city did not give a neighborhood-by-neighborhood schedule or the tonnage collected, so the safest route for residents is to file a report through official channels and keep the case number to follow up.
