| The aim is to enhance the value of the Ecopark, whose use has increased, although it is still too common to see household goods or appliances on the streets | Under the motto 'If you would never park your car in the kitchen, why do you park waste that does not correspond in the garbage container?' the Department of the Environment of the Jumilla City Council has launched a campaign "with which it is intended that citizens continue to become aware of the importance of not leaving inappropriate waste in the containers, thus promoting the use of the Ecopark", he said the councilor of the area, Juan Gil.
The campaign also recalls the existence of the free home collection service for waste that should not be deposited in separate collection containers.
It takes place on Thursdays with prior notice to 968716151. Last year 2019, 5,143 citizens used the Ecopark, an average of 430 people / month, reaching 436 tons of household goods, paint cans, electrical appliances, fluorescent tubes, debris from minor works or home repairs, wood, etc.
"The recycling figures through this service have increased compared to previous years, although it is still too common to see household appliances or household appliances next to the containers, so we must continue to influence the use of the Ecopark, which opens on Tuesday to Sunday ", has indicated Juan Gil. In 2018, the number of citizens who used the Ecopark reached 4,852, while in 2017 it was 4,428 citizens.
Remember, in addition, that the abandonment of waste in inappropriate places is penalized with fines of different economic amounts.
