The head of the municipal cleaning company Councilman City of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has reported that Limusa has recycled about 300 televisions and computer screens in the first half of the year, a total of 6.5 tons of this type waste.

At the end of those six months, we have collected 54 units of cold between refrigerators and air conditioning, most of the first type. In 2014 all the 28 units were withdrawn from circulation, and delivered for valuation as waste, so in the first six months of this year nearly twice as withdrawn throughout the previous year is reached.
