The article below was published on October 10, 2025, ...by a website of #Havana’s city government. It describes a concerted effort by local residents, the city administration, and private businesses to end the problem of trash accumulation in that part of #Cuba’s capital city.

Since then, this problem has become more acute and widespread in Havana as a consequence of the #US #oil #blockade, which, since January 3, has stopped virtually all #petroleum shipments from reaching Cuba. The resulting fuel shortage has... made it difficult to almost impossible for garbage trucks to operate and regularly collect trash.

... this article describes an example of the initiatives ordinary Cubans take to improve their daily lives in the middle of extreme adversities caused by Washington’s decades-old economic war.
