To generate losses in 2008 of € 193,630.86 to generate profits of € 1,702,004.60 in 2017, with garbage collection rates frozen, and increasing revenues from waste collection from other municipalities, and increasing the return on income from the sale of separate waste for recycling
The Delegate Councilor of the municipal cleaning company, Limusa, Juan Francisco Martínez, has reported that Limusa has managed to close the year 2017 with the greatest benefit of its historical series, chaining the ninth exercise in positive, which means leaving behind a dark stage , for the benefit of all Lorca.
We are talking about a benefit that exceeds 1.7 million.
We must indicate that the management of last year has been aimed at consolidating an economic improvement that allows financing with its own resources the construction of the present and future infrastructure needed by Lorca to achieve an adequate treatment of urban solid waste, without apply no raise on the receipt.
In fact, the positive economic evolution of Limusa allows us to face with guarantees the construction of the new pouring glass, achieving zero indebtedness, increasing the workforce, freezing the rates and increasing the turnover in 450,000 euros,
Martínez Carrasco explained that Limusa's sales figure is over 12 million, while social agreements have been reached with the company committees and an important series of investments in machinery and material resources has been made.
In this line, the benefits of 2017 in Limusa allow us to face the necessary investments to provide an increasingly sustainable service socially and environmentally.
The Edil de Limusa said that thanks to this work the company guarantees its ability to obtain resources.
In the pipeline is the start-up of cell 3 of the spill vessel, with an investment of 4.3 million euros, in addition to the logistics center, for an estimated amount of 1.75 million euros, and expected operational needs of 1,2.
The municipal society is, with these figures, independent financial level of the City, mortgages, and authorizations from other administrations.
Juan Francisco Martínez pointed out that, looking back, the strategic management carried out in Limusa in the last ten years could be socially defined as far-sighted.
The objective has been, and now demonstrates, to anticipate solutions to present and future social welfare, without adding tax burden.
The best proof of this is how it has gone from having an exhausted waste dump, to having a new waste glass for the next 40 years.
In this period, the public company has gone from having a debt of 4.4 million to having funds to meet its investments;
of paying large amounts of interest for debt to be practically residual;
from having reserves of less than 500,000 euros in 2008 to reserves accumulated at the end of 2017 of more than 6 million, and all this with frozen municipal garbage rates since 2011, seven consecutive years.
Grows at a rate of 40% year-on-year
In numbers, 2017 shows a year-on-year growth of 38.98% after closing the previous year with an operating result of 1,224 million euros.
While the indebtedness has fallen 30.68%.
In the last ten years almost 4 million euros have been lowered, practically the cost of cell 3 of the spill vessel, which is being built exclusively with its own resources and without the need for external financing.
The turnover has risen again, close to half a million euros, driven by the greater flow of material recovery in the new plant of the Waste Management Center, both the rest fraction and the selective line.
The company fulfills its strategic plan based on the industrial exploitation of the Waste Management Center, an infrastructure that with almost 12.5 million euros invested in four phases (2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016) and another 6 million euros already approved to equip it with new equipment and facilities for the optimization of management processes and classification of urban waste, with the aim of increasing the recovery capacity of organic and inorganic materials.
It has nothing to do with the old plant inaugurated in 1999.
