| They recall that there is a free service to collect pruning at home and other waste | The Department of the Environment urges citizens to make proper use of urban solid waste (MSW) containers in the areas of the Orchards and districts during the summer season to maintain optimal hygiene and health conditions, in addition to facilitate proper environmental management of waste.In this way, it is advocated to always deposit the corresponding waste inside the container and use the home collection services and the municipal eco-park offered by the Totana City Council.In summer, the use of selective collection containers as residual fraction waste located in the suburbs, especially in the area of ??the Orchards and districts, is increased, due to the displacement of residents to second residences during the summer.The improper use of containers causes, especially at this time, great difficulties in the collection service, a poor state of cleanliness of the containers and their surroundings, as well as a deplorable image of the rural environment, also generating a series of problems economic, social, environmental and public health added.In this sense, it is recalled that pruning waste from private gardens cannot be deposited inside or outside it.
Nor can furniture and belongings be deposited inside or outside of the container, nor other remains such as bags, glass, sacks, rubble, etc.For the deposit of this waste, you must contact the municipal eco-park that provides home pruning collection service and other waste that is not deposited in the containers, by telephone 968 425 308.Similarly, the lid of the residual fraction (organic waste) containers cannot be left open after depositing the waste, so it must always be kept closed to avoid the dispersion of waste and bad odors.In addition, it is recalled that the proper use of the containers with respect to the waste that must be deposited is: yellow container (light plastic containers, cartons, canned goods and soft drink cans-), blue (paper and cardboard), light green bell (glass) , orange (cooking oils), dark green (rest fraction) and beige (used clothing, footwear and toys).The misuse of the containers, depositing improper waste or outside of these, constitutes an infringement and carries the corresponding sanction under the environmental regulations applicable to waste, which can range from 900 euros if it is light to 45,000 euros if This is a very serious offense.
