The Los Cabos municipal government will send crews into the La Ballena Segunda Etapa neighborhood of San José del Cabo on Thursday, April 23, for a large-scale junk removal and cleanup operation starting at 8 a.m.
Fourth Councilwoman Adriana Cosío Urbina is leading the effort at the direction of Mayor Christian Agúndez Gómez. Municipal teams will go door to door collecting bulk items, old furniture, appliances, and other discarded household goods that residents want removed. The service is free of charge.
Multiple City Departments Deployed
Several municipal agencies are taking part, including the Dirección General de Servicios Públicos (Public Services), the Youth Institute, and the Women’s Institute. Crews will assist residents who have mobility limitations with hauling items off their property.
La Ballena is a residential colonia on the inland side of San José del Cabo, roughly two kilometers northwest of the town center. The neighborhood has been a recurring target for city cleanup campaigns. A similar operation in September 2025 pulled more than 105 tons of waste from the area using six trucks and heavy machinery.
Part of a Broader Municipal Campaign
The Thursday event is part of the city’s ongoing “descacharrización” program, a waste-removal initiative that has been expanding across Los Cabos since mid-April. According to the municipal government, crews have already worked through several colonias and plan to extend operations to Las Veredas, San Bernabé, San José Viejo, Buenos Aires, areas near the airport, and the community of Santa Anita.
Residents in either city who need bulk waste pickup outside the scheduled drives can call the Public Services hotline at (624) 143-2786 in Cabo San Lucas or (624) 142-0914 in San José del Cabo to request branch and junk removal.
The cleanup push comes as Los Cabos prepares for the summer travel season, when visitor numbers and waste generation both climb. The municipal government published the announcement on its official website, loscabos.gob.mx.
