Residents of the central region of Suzano have raised concerns about the ongoing issues with garbage collection, which has yet to be fully normalized. On Tuesday, the local government announced a new company that will temporarily manage garbage, urban maintenance, and ecopoints within the municipality. The city administration stated that garbage collection was set to begin Tuesday evening, with a gradual return to regular service expected by Wednesday morning.

Despite these reassurances, residents like Ana Lúcia Dantas, an elderly woman from the São Francisco neighborhood, reported that as of early Wednesday afternoon, garbage collection had not yet occurred in her area. This situation highlights a significant gap between municipal announcements and the realities faced by the community, as institutions such as the local school had placed their refuse outdoors, optimistic that collection would happen as scheduled. The accumulated garbage not only poses a sanitation concern but also raises questions about the effectiveness of the municipal administration's crisis management.

The delayed collection has broader implications for the residents' quality of life in Suzano, particularly in the densely populated central areas. As complaints mount, local authorities must respond swiftly to restore trust and ensure that basic sanitation needs are met. The ongoing situation serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by urban municipalities in managing essential services, especially during transitions between service providers.
