From January 1 to 7, 2019 more than triple the glass has been collected last year |

The councilor responsible for the municipal company Limusa, Juan Francisco Martínez Carrasco, has taken stock of recycling data recorded in the municipality of Lorca during the year 2018 and has described as "extraordinary." Actions aimed at reducing both waste on roads public as to increase the recycling of containers seem to have paid off in accordance with the results of the year 2018, in which light packaging has been the most prolific, with an increase of 18.55% over the result of 2017. "

Thus, Martínez Carrasco said that "the last year has closed with one kilo per person more than in the previous year in terms of plastic containers, metal (cans) and brik type, which has allowed to reach the absolute figure of 567,920 kilos.That amount is approximately that each Lorca has deposited in the yellow container about 6.3 kilos of this type of waste.For a standard family of four members, his annual contribution would be 25 kilos ".

The mayor has announced that "if we look back we see how in the last four years the recycling of this selective fraction has increased 2 kilos per inhabitant, an exceptional result that also makes us very optimistic because only in this last year the same result has been achieved as in the sum of the three previous ones, which were the subject of a significant boost after two consecutive years of fall in collection. "

"In the case of cardboard and paper, the rise has been more moderate, although equally significant, slightly above 9% In the case of glass, the change of year has penalized the closing of 2018. If in November the accumulated grew 1% compared to the same period of the previous year, the contributions of the hotel chain during the New Year's Eve holiday have not been able to be attributed to 2018 and are already part of the 2019 balance. But it should be noted that the collection has tripled that of the year previous: from January 1 to 7, 24,860 kilos of glass were collected by the 7,480 of last year, which makes us start the year with the best recycling data to face 2019. "

Regarding the service carried out during Christmas, Martínez Carrasco has made a balance highlighting that "the areas that have hosted the multiple events scheduled during Christmas have been the subject of a constant cleaning service, meeting the demand of both merchants, who have great part of their sales expectations at this time, as citizens who have exceeded any anticipation of affluence, especially around evening leisure that has gained ground at night, except the key dates of Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and Eve of Kings, which They have gone hand in hand. "

"In a special way, Limusa has deployed a service to the merchant through the presence of a door-to-door cardboard pick-up truck that has continually removed it from the public highway during those days with the greatest volume of generation. The amount generated has been higher than in the previous period.To this specific device has been added the usual one of these dates, which includes the extraordinary reinforcement of scrubbing the streets with the greatest public affluence both for leisure and for its recreational activity. that at the end of the Cabalgata de los Reyes Magos, three sweepers, personnel with superspeeds and vans, as well as the personnel and machinery necessary for the subsequent scrubbing of the entire route, were allocated exclusively.
