The Sustainable Development area of Barakaldo promotes the recycling of organic waste in the txosnas and the gastronomic contests of the festivals, where numerous vegetable, meat and fish remains are generated.POLITICS SPAIN EUROPE BASQUE COUNTRY BARAKALDO CITY COUNCILThe Councilor for Sustainable Development and the Natural Environment of Barakaldo, Alba Delgado, today announced the initiatives that she is developing in the area that she directs to promote the recycling of organic waste from the El Carmen festivities.According to Delgado, the promotion of the use of the brown container is focusing on two areas: the txosnas venue on Avenida de la Libertad and gastronomic activities."We have distributed 50-litre buckets to the ten tgtcomparsas that have installed txosna, as well as compostable bags and keys to the containers," she pointed out.In the vicinity of the booths, three brown containers have also been installed to facilitate the recycling of vegetable waste, meat and fish, which are what can be deposited in these containers.«In the txosnas a lot of waste is generated, also of the organic type, because food is sold and there are also other very common products in the hotel industry that can be thrown into the brown container.For example, corks from wine bottles or napkins.That is why it seemed important to us that all organic waste be recycled in this area, ”explained the councillor.The Sustainable Development and Natural Environment area is also promoting the use of the brown container during gastronomic contests at Parque de Los Hermanos.It did it last Sunday with the traditional marmitako contest, and it will repeat it again this Saturday both with the tortilla and paella contests and with the Sumando Arroces initiative, from the platform of immigrant groups Sumando-Gehituz.“These appointments are great generators of organic waste.We are giving each crew a brown bucket with compostable bags and the key to the container.The organizers of the contests have also agreed to reward, in some way, the crews that recycle the most organic waste, avoiding throwing it away as the rest.With this, we managed to involve many Barakaldesas and Barakaldesas in promoting recycling in our city”, argued the councilor.HOW TO JOIN THE RECYCLING OF ORGANIC WASTE Alba Delgado has recalled that people interested in using the brown container can go to the Citizen Attention Service (SAC), where they will be provided free of charge with a small bucket where they can deposit household waste, compostable bags, the key of the container and an explanatory leaflet.It should be remembered that the fifth container exclusively for organic waste was installed in December 2013 in the Desert-Urban and Torres de San Vicente areas, and has been progressively expanded throughout the city until it was extended to all neighborhoods last year. .During this time, various dissemination and awareness campaigns have been carried out.The last one was a survey of users to find out the needs of the service.Previously, the area of Sustainable Development and Natural Environment also involved the 'singular' generators of organic waste;that is, those establishments that generate more garbage of this type, and more specifically greengrocers and flower shops.This website uses cookies so that you have the best user experience.If you continue browsing you are giving your consent for the acceptance of the aforementioned cookies and the acceptance of our cookie policy.TO ACCEPT
