Comlurb will ensure the cleaning of the parade track and surrounding streets, with 115 street cleaners on each of the three days. 200 containers will be made available along the entire length of Intendente so that visitors can dispose of their waste correctly.
Comlurb will have 50 street cleaners per day cleaning the streets at night during the parades, and 65 street cleaners per day cleaning the streets during the day, which begins right after the end of the shows. The two mini-sweepers, a big new addition to last week's parades, will once again be used to clean the Intendente Magalhães track this weekend. Two water tankers will also be used per day to wash the track with recycled water, three compactor trucks and three dump trucks to support the work.
During the first three days of parades at Intendente Magalhães, from 20 to 22/04, Comlurb recorded the removal of 48 tons of waste.
