Boat bonanza

A NEW recycling system in Manacor four years ago is having incredible results today. At a press conference held on Tuesday, February 7, the council said recycled waste in the town has increased by a staggering 229 per cent in the last four years.

The simplified recycling system has brought the percentage of waste recycled in the town up to an impressive 30.2 per cent by the end of 2022, an improvement on just 13.3 per cent in 2018. The improvement has allowed the council to save €1 million in incineration costs, which can now be spent on other, more exciting uses.

in the first year without any pandemic restrictions remaining.

The reformed system included new recycling collections in the sa Torre de Porto Cristo and Son Macià areas as well as an increase in waste separation to offer five different recycling containers. More than 5,000 homes in the town are currently offered free recycling collection services and a further 16,000 have nearby recycling bins to take their waste to.

Environmental councillor, Sebastià Llodrà explained that the council wants to expand the collection service even further as it has the best results.
