The Cabildo de Fuerteventura, through the Department of Waste, improves the facilities of the transfer plant and the clean point of Mal Nombre, in the municipality of Pájara, with asphalting works that come to facilitate the access of users who come to deposit their waste at the clean point.
The Councilor for Waste, Enrique Pérez, explains that “these works are part of the improvement process that the Island Corporation is carrying out in the different clean points, plants and other infrastructures in the field of waste”. After these improvement actions, the facilities will be open again to the public and operational as from tomorrow, July 15.
Enrique Pérez points out that “the Cabildo has already received, in addition, the new mobile clean point, which will be launched in the coming weeks. An itinerant clean point that will complement the fixed facilities and bring recycling to all residents of Fuerteventura”. It is also expected to soon launch new machinery to renew the waste transfer plants that are located in Tuineje, Lajares (La Oliva) and Mal Nombre (Pájara).
In the transfer plants, owned by the Island Corporation, domestic waste from municipal collection is received, after weighing, and compacted in preparation for transfer to the Zurita Environmental Complex for treatment. This new machinery (three tractor trucks), will adapt the transfer plants to the selective collection of organic waste / biowaste generated in Fuerteventura, known as ‘fifth container’.
