Keeping Chan Chemuyil Beautiful
Our Maintenance Services
Basura Area Management
Efficient collection and disposal of trash maintains cleanliness and environmental responsibility. We work together with the community and our partners to manage the basura area in Chan Chemuyil, and to provide the folks in the neighborhood with the information they need to properly recycle what they can.
Glass - not recyclable from CC, place in the garbage
Aluminum - goes in the dedicated bin
Cardboard and other non-food waste - in the unlidded garbage bins
Food waste - in the lidded bins. Keep the lids CLOSED please
RECYCLING is held the last Friday of every month in Chemuyil, Akumal and other locations. Some more information from the Centro Communitario in Chemuyil.
Street and Tope Maintenance
Ensuring the street and topes are well maintained, including the section of Mexicana at the entrance to CC streets. Tope painting, vegetation removal and trimming, minor pothole repairs help keep the streets useable.
Major street repairs, including lighting, are outside of the HMG mandate - our involvement is in reporting issues and following up with the delegado in Chemuyil for their resolution.
Common Area Upkeep
Timely trimming of vegetation and upkeep of shared facilities and areas to preserve their quality and usability. Includes the fencing and grassy areas around two cenotes, the fencing and grassy area of the vacant lot, the shelving, lighting, books, games and puzzles in the library, the areas around the basura walls and bodega, and more.
Sometimes we paint over graffiti, repaint the policia caseta, and other common area initiatives that are not regular maintenance, and we take them on with enthusiasm!
Free Lending Library
We have a lending library that has books, puzzles, games and more, at the bottom of calle Belize next to the water treatment post.
Keys are in the lockbox on the wall, code is the last 4 digits of our postal code. Residents may borrow or keep books for beach days, the journey home, bedtime reading...
We take donations and ask that you kindly leave ONLY books and puzzles in excellent useable condition. No torn covers, moldy pages or missing pieces please! :)
Together, we keep Chan Chemuyil beautiful and thriving

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I get involved?
Join the CCHMG-the fee is minimal and makes a big difference. The bigger our budget, the more projects we can undertake
Volunteer for the CCHMG-run for a Board position when they come open, or just offer your time to help with library, neighborhood upkeep, etc.
Make a motion/suggestion-share ideas of your own that you'd like to see come to life! Not everything is within our maintenance mandate, and the ideas that are outside of our mandate, we encourage people to take on themselves.
Necessary forms are on the CCHMG Facebook page. There are nomination forms if you want to run for a position, and motion forms to make suggestions for projects. You don't need to submit the form itself, just make sure that the relevant info from the form is in your email to us.
Where can I find the guidelines of the CCHMG?
The guidelines are hosted on the CCHMG Facebook page.
Does the CCHMG get involved in activities beyond maintenance?
As individuals, the Board members do get involved with local activities like the garage sale, Christmas for the kids, Beach clean-ups etc. HOWEVER, as a group, the HMG does not. This ensures that the funds we collect are spent on maintenance only.
Why are there "rules" for the disposal of garbage in the basura area?
We try to keep food-containing bins CLOSED AND COVERED to minimize wild animals (raccoons, snakes, rats). Bins without lids should be used for cardboard and other non-food items.
Construction materials cannot be left at the basura area. Your contractor should make arrangements to dispose of it properly (NOT by dumping it in the jungle)
Old appliances cannot be left at the basura area (fridges, water tanks, air conditioners, bbqs etc.) There are scrap dealers that come around the community fairly regularly and it has been our experience that they will pick up from you directly at your door when they come.
Are there services available in CC, how can I get drinking water, gas etc. delivered?
A water truck selling bottled water comes around twice per week, usually Wednesday and Saturday mornings. You can order online, or just flag them down.
Gas deliveries you can order online, or just flag them down if a neighbor has ordered. It's often a good idea to ask on FB for contact info and if anyone else is ordering.
During high season, we have many services coming around. Seafood on Sundays, plants randomly, fruit and veg randomly, sometimes even ice cream and snacks!
Pizza made right in CC can be ordered from Myrna, La Celeste pizza. Check the FB page for details.
We have a welder in the community, and diving instructors and tour guides and many others services - ask on the FB page and you may be surprised!!
