Calvià will be the starting point of a campaign, promoted from the Council of Majorca and the company Ecovidrio, for the awareness and the promotion of the recycling of glass.
Calvià has been the municipality chosen by the Council of Majorca for the presentation of a campaign of awareness for glass recycling, which the company Ecovidrio promotes and which will be spread throughout the ten biggest municipalities on the island, during the forthcoming month.
The main aim of the campaign, which starts on Thursday is, the awareness and the promotion of the recycling of glass by the citizens through the information given in the street by technical experts in the matter, who will hand out a bag destined to the reuse of glass.
Calvià is the first in line, within the procedure of recyling glass on our island, as it was informed in a report produced by the Council of Majorca, last year and which shows the work done in the municipality within this task. More than 2.500 tons of glass were converted, in 2009.
On the other hand, it is to be highlighted the start of the Selective Refuse Collection Plan, some years ago, in which Calvià considers the differences between the three essential users within the Selective Collection: homes, complementary offer (bars and trades) and hotel establishments. Thus, currently there are 269 glass collection containers spread throughout all the municipalities.
