Havana residents call newspaper article a joke

HAVANA, August 28 (Manuel David Orrio, CPI) Residents of Havana called an August 27 article on the weekly Trabajadores (Workers), detailing the improvements in cleanliness and sanitation in the city, a joke, pointing out the overflowing garbage cans in front of the offices of the government-controlled Workers' Union, of which the newspaper is the official publication.

The same overflowing bins can be seen everywhere in the city.

A resident of Pueblo Nuevo who would only identify herself as Alicia pointed out that in neighborhoods where people formerly had two garbage cans now they can only use one, which contradicts the report in the Trabajadores article to the effect that there are now more such bins.
