(HOLBOX, QUINTANA ROO, – CITY COUNCIL), January 21, 2022.- The 25 tons of garbage generated daily by the inhabitants of Holbox and its visitors will continue to be deposited in the Kantunilkin dump , because the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (Profepa) still keeps the island’s landfill closed.
