Overview
- The municipality ran the large civic cleanup on Sunday, June 7, and officials say more than 50,000 municipal workers, residents, students and businesspeople took part to clean public space.
- Organizers reported that participants cleaned 989 plazas, avenues, streets, medians and parks and used heavy machinery and thousands of volunteers to remove trash across the city.
- About 200 uniformed personnel from the Navy, the National Guard and state and municipal police supported the operation, with municipal police split into 28 groups to cover a 3.6-kilometer stretch of Avenida Revolución.
- Mayor Cisneros urged the action to become an ongoing community movement and said early improvements included better lighting, security and wider water access, though those claims come from immediate post-event reports and lack independent long-term verification.
- The event responds to long-standing complaints about neglected services and insecurity in Ecatepec and could shift daily life if community stewardship and official follow-up lead to sustained repairs, service expansion or crime changes.
