Urban hygiene. Garbage piled up in the Angola neighborhood in Loures

RTP Notícias2 September 2026 at 14:30

The residents of the Angola neighborhood, in Camarate, in the municipality of Loures, have been facing a serious urban hygiene crisis for months. Garbage accumulates in the streets without the situation being resolved, causing constant inconvenience to the local population.

The residents of this neighborhood are asking authorities for help to find a solution to the problem, which they consider to be a public health issue. The accumulation of waste on public roads represents risks to the health and well-being of the community.

The situation in Camarate illustrates the difficulties that some municipalities in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area face in managing urban hygiene services, with residents suffering the direct consequences of this failure in basic garbage collection services.
