A Pobra do Brollón has a new mobile cleaning point that is already circulating in the parishes of the municipality with the aim of facilitate recycling and safe waste disposal. The initiative is part of the municipal program ‘Less waste, more life’, and is carried out with the support of the Ministry of the Environment and the Feder.
The mobile clean point is installed from yesterday Monday 2 in Parada dos Montes and in the coming weeks it will travel to different parishes in the municipality for the use of residents.
The mobile clean point consists of a trailer with separate storage compartments polluting waste such as batteries, medicines, fluorescent lamps and tubes, aerosols, used cooking oil, empty paint containers, toners and printer cartridges. This waste is then transferred to the clean point in A Pobra for recycling and safe deposit.
‘In a municipality like ours, where the population is very dispersed, this mobile clean point is very necessary to facilitate recycling for residents,’ says the councilor for the environment, Ricardo Rodicio. ‘This initiative, along with others that we have underway, makes us a A reference municipality in sustainable waste management.’
The mobile clean point joins other initiatives already implemented by the local government to reduce environmental pollution caused by waste, such as community composting or home collection of bulky waste.
The mobile clean point will remain in Parada dos Montes until Wednesday 4. From Thursday to Sunday it will be in Salcedo. On Monday of next week it will move to Lamaigrexa and on Friday the 13th to Castroncelos.
The next stops will be announced in advance. All residents receive in advance an information letter explaining how to use the mobile clean point, and where and when it will be in your parish.
