Residents of Mikanjuni, Mtwapa have given the Kilifi county government seven days to collect garbage in the town or face unspecified consequences.
They protested against the heaps of garbage that have now blocked some access roads.
Let by Shimo la Tewa MCA Sammy Ndago, the community accused the county administration of laxity in the collection of garbage.
For more than a month, the Kwa chief-Mikanjuni –Mzambarauni road has been inaccessible due to heaps of trash.
Ndago on Wednesday asked the Kilifi county chief officer in charge of environment Andrew Makoti to resign for failing to carry out his duties.
He described the county's position that they lack fuel for garbage trucks as total crap.
This is amid fears of disease outbreaks owing to the hazardous conditions.
The politician said the county contracted a company to collect garbage in the town hence has no excuse for the filth.
"The county should have used the money to service the county trucks instead of these excuses," Ndago.
Ndago urged the county administration to designate a place to dump solid waste.
"The county bought land to be used as a garbage site but up to now nothing has been done there."
"They should look for another place away from this place," Ndago said.
Makoti dismissed the claims of county not collecting garbage said the tonnes of garbage is now being collected.
Nimosi Rashid, a Mikanjuni resident, said the garbage is swept by floodwaters into their houses when it rains.
"This heap of garbage has blocked a storm water drainage system that drains water into the Indian Ocean at Mtwapa creek."
"We fear cases of cholera outbreak. We have had cases of severe diarrhoea in this area," she said
Other areas with heaps of garbage are Mtomondoni, Nyambura and at the Kilifi bus park on the Mombasa-Malindi highway.
