Rubbish to go

ORIHUELA City Council has begun the removal of the historic rubbish dumps that occupy public roads on the Orihuela coast. The councillor for Street Cleaning, Rocio Ortuño and the councillor for the Environment, Noelia Grao, explained the actions that are being carried out.

Both councillors consider that these dumps have a great environmental and visual impact on public roads. “The council removes solid urban waste and belongings, but it so happens that, for a long time, in certain areas, all kinds of rubble from small works and renovations have accumulated in a totally irresponsible way next to the MSW containers causing dirt and abandon­ ment,” they pointed out.

For this reason, they said that “despite not being one of our ordinary functions, we have proceeded to contract the necessary support services for their removal and transfer to the treatment plant.” In this sense, a service order has been placed for five rubble containers and their transport to the treatment plant.
