Until the end of the oil and stop manufacturing plastic products, the waste problem will not disappear. However, if from now we could improve our habits and act responsibly and conscientiously to handle all packaging and products that we no longer really exist the possibility to end the problem once and Cuernavaca . meantime, we continue with the problem of what to do with all the waste we generate ...
Our city suffers a crisis of trash, like many other municipalities in Mexico and other countries. It is a pity because it should not be so complicated. Solving the problem is not easy because it has become a political issue. therefore been difficult to the point that how, where and when we place our detritus depends on the service we offer our municipality. More and more people are acting ecologically in separating their waste properly, but to witness how the garbage trucks is remixed indiscriminately, the situation becomes quite annoying. also know that the pickers are working to separate the trash again to sell it, or what is more common, the trash ends up in the dustbin of time, in a deplorable state.
Well, the good news is that we have an alternative Cuernavaca extraordinary service recyclable solid waste collection organized by a group of people motivated by environmental stewardship. Project is Community Collection Centers San Antón (operated by the Board for the Rescue of San Anton and Ravines of Cuernavaca, AC), whose motto is: "For a consumer recycling conscious and active. " Thanks to them today there are 12 collection centers for waste recovery and are one of the best examples of Morelos in the sustainable management of waste. Their goal is to capture up to 120 tons of recyclable materials each month and install additional storage facilities in the city of Cuernavaca, where possible, next year. Each piece of waste collected and recycled ends up being sold, which is wonderful. is estimated that to date have participated in the project about 5,000 people, including citizens, schools, neighborhoods, civic organizations, businesses, churches and institutions government, among others.
Currently the project is attracting between 50 and 60 tons per month, using two small trucks that work hard to collect solid waste from people and institutions registered. Reaching 120 tons will be possible only with the participation of you and me to be actively engaged, working as a community and providing our plastic, paper, paperboard, cardboard, tetrapak, tin, aluminum, metal slug, batteries and glass. is important to remember that all these products should be delivered in a clean, rinsed and crushed.
worth mentioning that this project operates a non-profit and has no connection with political parties. What little they earn or receive as support in the form of grants is intended to keep the administrative office function that exists thanks to the efforts of Rodrigo Morales, Citlalxóchitl González and Silvia Baez, whose desire to work in the project are larger than funds they receive. Need Help? Yes, of course. trucks need more capital to improve service, and support to maintain storage facilities clean and tidy and above all, to serve more percentage of the population of Cuernavaca.
Remember that 90% of the waste generated is recyclable. The organic has to be separated from the rest and be deposited in the compost. If you do not compost at home stay organized with your family, your neighbors or your boss to install one as soon as possible in a place that suits everybody. If you have not registered for a recycling program will not think twice. is a service to your community: we should all use it and support these efforts to care for the rivers and canyons, forests and streets. Our city may look more beautiful and clean if all make an effort. is in your hands!
