This initiative is aimed at saving 100,000 euros a year
Mazarron Town Council continues to work in defense of the environment and has today launched an initiative to improve the management of recycling in the municipality. Specifically, the department head David Fernandez has sent a letter to commercial establishments to inform them that from Tuesday 15 November, garbage collection truck will pass through the main streets of Mazarron, the Port and Bolnuevo to collect cardboard produce the shops.
Specifically, the collection will take place on Tuesdays and Fridays from 7 pm to 10 pm. As the mayor explained, "this initiative aims to optimize waste collection service since, according to our calculations, we can save up to 100,000 euros a year." All traders have to do is "flatten the cardboard and keep on the premises until Tuesday or Friday, at which time it must be then handed over to the cardboard collection truck."
The Mayor of Mazarron, Ginés Campillo, stressed that the objective in addition to cost savings, is "getting to recycle cardboard in a more effective way". This service will be carried out on a trial basis for two months . Campillo has commented that the reception of the idea among traders "has been quite good and we hope that next year we can develop it further."
This measure applies only to businesses, and citizens should continue depositing cardboard generated at home in the blue recycling bin. The initiative adds to the many activities and projects from the Department of Environment being put in place for protecting the natural heritage of the municipality.
