| Eight side-loading containers with a capacity of 3,200 liters will be renewed with the aim of encouraging the population to continue recycling | The Alcantarilla City Council is committed to recycling packaging.
The Governing Board yesterday approved the signing of the collaboration agreement with Ecoembes to renew packaging containers in the municipality. Specifically, Ecoembes will deliver eight 3,200-liter side-loading containers to the City Council, which will be placed on public roads, renovating those that are damaged or expanding areas where two containers are needed. The Councilor for the Development of the City and Historical Heritage, Laura Sandoval, explained that "the City Council undertakes to update the container inventory, guarantee that the container collection service will be provided and maintain the cleanliness of containers and the environment, with the In order for citizens to have more recycling points and to increase the recycling of packaging, polluting less and promoting the circular economy, since a Pet-type container (water bottles, soft drinks ...) can become part of a T-shirt or a can in the radius of a bicycle.
" The City Council joined the framework agreement signed between the Autonomous Community and Ecoembes in 2013 with the aim of adopting all the containerization measures for selective collection of light packaging to increase recycling of packaging.
