REPORT ON THE FIRST DAY OF DIFFERENTIATED WASTE COLLECTION
The Undersecretariat of Environment of the Municipality of Concordia conducted an assessment of the first day of the "Concordia más Verde" Source Separation and Differentiated Urban Solid Waste Collection Program this past Tuesday, which aims to utilize dry waste that is recoverable and recyclable at the waste sorting plant of the Parque El Abasto Environmental Node.
In this regard, Constanza Montoreano, Undersecretary of Environment, pointed out that although work is still being done on the amount of dry waste that arrived at the plant for recycling, the initial assessment is that, in general terms, the community has responded.
"There were sectors where the separation was done correctly and others where waste was put out that does not correspond to Tuesdays, for example, we found bags containing pruning or gardening waste and also wet waste," indicated Montoreano.
This first part of the Source Separation and Differentiated Urban Solid Waste Collection Program "has a logical stage where the resident must get used to the fact that one day a week, in this case Tuesdays, only dry waste is collected."
DRY WASTE
Montoreano reminded that the waste that must be separated and set out exclusively on Tuesdays is: paper, cardboard, glass, metals, textiles, tetra brik, plastics, bags, and styrofoam.
"This brings many benefits ranging from caring for the environment to greater use and utilization of the Campo El Abasto Plant. The more that can be separated and recycled, the better," remarked the Undersecretary of Environment.
COLLECTION SCHEDULE
Finally, as of this past Tuesday, April 16, the waste collection schedule is as follows:
In neighborhoods where collection takes place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, starting April 16, Tuesday was added.
In sectors where collection takes place on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, Monday has been added.
And in places where the service is from Monday to Saturday, it remains the same.
