Residents of Baixa de Algés issue a public warning about the serious hygiene and sanitation problems affecting the area, mainly in the area around the intersection of Rua General Humberto Delgado and Rua Luís de Camões. Residents blame both the lack of civic-mindedness and the urban design of Algés' urban hygiene system itself.
One resident revealed that she is prevented from opening her home's windows due to the nauseating smell emanating from the waste disposal point. The situation is significantly affecting the quality of life of the area's inhabitants.
The residents did not limit themselves to presenting complaints, having also suggested improvements to the waste collection system. The article indicates that the content about these suggestions and the reported problems was first published in Olhares de Lisboa.
