Bogotá cleared thousands of tonnes of curbside trash in January

The Bogotá municipality cleared over 9,100 tonnes of trash, mostly building material, heavy items or broken furniture left on the streets, through January 2026. This amounted to 300 tonnes of débris dumped outside daily, the broadcaster Radio Santa Fe reported on 5 February. Municipal mobile Eco Points or collection vans (Ecopuntos móviles, run by the UAESP or Special Administrative Unit for Public Services) separately received almost 13,000 tonnes of 'special waste' or similar, construction, household and recoverable refuse in 2025, Radio Santa Fe reported on 2 February. The city's 211 vans move around the city with advance notice to receive unwanted items and prevent the city's notorious trash piles.
