• This is a measure that was already planned to be carried out by the Popular Party with the objective of complying with the most recent European regulations, which obliges companies that collect waste to obtain at least half of the bio-waste generated in the cities.

The Councilor of the Popular Party in the City of Lorca, Juan Francisco Martínez, has requested that Limusa undertake the pilot project that was already planned to be carried out by the PP to develop a test in the container areas of Juan Carlos I avenue by buzzing and informing street level to all neighbors about the need to separate bio-waste in homes, depositing in a different bag the remains of fruits, vegetables, food, bread, pastries, nuts, bread, fish, seafood, coffee, infusions, cork , sawdust and matches, among other elements.

Martínez Carrasco has indicated that we have managed to make Lorca a city that serves as a reference model for other municipalities in the management of all types of urban waste.

It has been an intense work, planned and whose execution has deserved the recognition of several institutions over the last years.

Now we want this work to continue, that it does not stop, and that is why we consider it essential that the procedures that we leave pending are carried out so that during the next year 2020 the municipal cleaning company, Limusa, collects at least 50% of the Total bio-waste generated by citizens with the aim of reducing the current dependence on landfills, and contributing to the comprehensive implementation in Europe of a circular economy model, taking into account the fact that waste is not garbage, but we are talking about resources that can be harnessed and socially profitable, generating wealth and employment.

Juan Francisco Martínez explained that Directive 2008/98 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, of November 19, 2008, on waste, and by which certain directives are repealed by integrating them into a single standard, establishes the legal framework of the European Union for waste management.

It was applied in Spain with Law 22/2011, of July 28, on contaminated waste and soil, which translates, in concrete terms, into which cities are required to collect at least half of the aforementioned bio-waste

From the Popular Party it is claimed that the City Council continue and materialize the forecasts already advanced in this regard to comply with this legislation.

It is a question that does not admit delay, and that has to be executed to serve as an example to citizens, within the task of social pedagogy in the matter of waste that has to be developed by all public administrations.

We are talking about a measure that has a positive impact on all aspects, but which has special significance in its social, environmental and ecological aspects.
