On the one hand, they reduce the visual impact of traditional containers and, on the other, they favor healthiness ”.The works began fifteen days ago and will finish next week.
Specifically, the new points will be used to collect both organic waste and materials that can be recycled (cardboard and plastic).The pedestrian gains space with less noisy containersAmong the advantages of this action, the underground containers are less noisy when unloading and offer more space for pedestrians.

Specifically, the work decorates the living room street attached to the food market and presents motifs inspired by local commerce.Both the installation of underground containers and the creation of the new graffiti are works that are part of the territorial structuring plan.1,119 underground containers distributed throughout the municipalityCurrently, the municipality has 1,119 underground containers, of which 632 are to deposit waste, 207 to store containers, 165 to house paper and another 115 for glass.An injection of 127,500 euros for Cabezo de TorresThe City Council has allocated this summer an injection of 127,553.39 to promote three public spaces in Cabezo de Torres: the Day Stays center, the Center for the Conciliation of Work and Family Life and the Plaza de Abastos.
