Trash Burning
Status: In Progress
Date: Wednesday 15 February 2017 2:32 AM
Address: 706 Sheridan St, Calexico, CA 92231, USA
Description: Smoke coming from trash that has been slowly burning for several days. According to residents, Fire Department comes and put water in trash, but problem has not been eliminated. I was able to see smoke coming from the trash. Looks like trash is wood chips left by someone and they caught in fire. I was able to get this report from a resident in a local health fair. Mains Elementary School is no longer than a block away. I was able to notice kids playing at school and being exposed to the smell. There is also old furniture and kitchen appliances thrown in the empty lot. I was also able to notice that some families use the empty lot to cross from the school to their residence walking. Trash creates a fire hazard if left uncollected.

Illegal disposal of trash into open drain
Status: In Progress
Date: Wednesday 25 January 2017 7:53 AM
Address: Río San Francisco, Valle Dorado, Mexicali, B.C., Mexico
Description: Many citizens of Colonia Solidaridad, Nuevo Mexicali have been illegally disposing various forms of solid waste into the open sewage drain around them. The waste being disposed of includes but is not limited to: tires, insoluble plastics, cardboard, cloths, styrofoam, motor oil, and various other items the citizens of this community and neighboring communities need disposing of. For over 2 decades the Mexican government has turned a blind eye to the growing number of illegal trash disposals , and has left nothing but broken promises in its path. As a result of the sheer size of waste that has accumulated in this sewage drain over the course of years, very little if any sewage has been able to pass through and regularly gets backed up for days on end. The stench produced as a result of this torments citizens miles away from the site. The non-degradable waste that has continually accumulated in this sewage drain will only continue to grow unless a change is made, and quickly.***ADMIN: Awaiting contact information at PROFEPA.
