Councilor Enrique Lorca declares that "if we do not facilitate the collection to citizens, it will be difficult for them to deposit certain waste, that is why it is common to find uncontrolled dumping next to the selective collection containers and illegal dumps in unfenced lots" The Municipal Socialist Group asks about the eight mini-parks that were to be installed at the end of 2019 in neighborhoods and districts of the municipality in order to facilitate the selective collection of bulky items (furniture, packaging, mattresses, etc.), unique, special and dangerous of domiciliary origin (those that due to their composition, even being for domestic use, cannot be deposited in the MSW containers: Rest, organic, or selective) to the neighbors of Murcia. "Again we are facing an announcement, on August 9, 2019, which has been left in borage water.
It seems that the PP for the only thing that initiatives and projects serve are to sell a headline and then park them in the drawer of oblivion ", explains the socialist councilor Enrique Lorca, who recalls that since the launch of the eco-park and mobile eco-points service in 2005, the Municipal Socialist Group has been claiming a network of eco-parks distributed throughout the geography of the municipality with the purpose of avoiding the proliferation of uncontrolled spills It is paradoxical that a capital like Murcia has only one eco-park like Alcantarilla, Santomera or Aledo.
" In this regard, he recalls that the launch of those eight ecominiparks was announced to facilitate the deposit of toxic or special waste, since in recent years the collection of this type of waste had increased more than 120% in Murcia, therefore the councilor is interested in knowing what is happening with these remains and considers that "if we do not facilitate the collection for citizens, it will be difficult for them to deposit certain waste." "For this reason, perhaps, it is common to find uncontrolled dumps next to the containers destined for selective collection, especially in streets and neighborhoods far from the center, and illegal dumps in unfenced lots", says Lorca, who points out that "the PP does Misleading advertisements, since we have heard the councilor in charge say that the disused furniture can be taken out next to the containers and notify a free phone number and it is wrong because first it is called, an appointment is made and then the bulky waste is removed to the point agreed and not the other way around.
" In addition, he explains that the municipal government "confuses advertising and politics and does not carry out serious and truly educational public awareness campaigns." He adds that "it is essential to size the service provided to the real needs of the same, since you only have to take a look at the street, talk to citizens and workers to verify that the service is insufficient and poorly organized" . For Lorca, "it is proven that if we provide the citizen with adequate deposits for each type of waste, he uses them without any problem, but otherwise we are inviting him to leave it anywhere, contaminating and deteriorating the image of our municipality." These new devices, which have not been heard from after being announced a year ago, were to be installed in La Albatalía / La Arboleja, Guadalupe, Churra / Cabezo de Torres, El Esparragal, Puente Tocinos, Torreagüera / Beniaján, Santiago El Mayor / Barrio del Progreso and Los Martínez del Puerto.
Each one of them was going to cost around € 50,000 and there citizens could leave waste that due to its size had no place in other mobile ecopoints. In these new spaces, furniture, pruning, rubble and other bulky items, such as doors, mattresses, toilets ...
The maximum quantities that can be carried will be 30 kilograms of rubble, 4 units of furniture and bulky items and 30 kilograms of domestic pruning.
