Mobile Ecoparque the municipality has moved today to IES Rambla de Nogalte for young people to know this service and learn to recycle properly.
In this sense, the students have learned how to properly separate waste in order to minimize the rate described as "improper" waste.
Councillor for Sustainable Development, Angela Morillas, stressed that "the City Council are making a major effort to provide citizens with the means to enable them to recycle and reduce the maximum waste generation".
These collection points are mobile trucks adapted for citizens to deposit their waste.
When an object is composed of more than one material, it must be removed as far as possible in order to incorporate each of the corresponding residue in the contest.
These wastes are carried sorting plants, where they are separated, they recovered and recycled materials will be reused later.
Only the parts that are not profitable are taken to a landfill.
Finally, the councilor has encouraged young people to use the service Ecoparque "because in this way we considerably reduce the volume of waste going to landfill."
