Environmental educators visited the festival areas, encouraging residents to recycle glass to meet the recycling challenge set by Ecovidrio. The residents of Torrevieja recycled a total of 3,153,867 kilograms of glass containers. This means that each resident recycled an average of 31.4 kilograms of glass. Torrevieja has an average of 100 inhabitants per container, and currently has a total of 996 glass recycling containers installed throughout the municipality.

Last Friday, the Torrevieja City Council's Local Government Board approved the tender for the Municipal Sports Schools' transportation contract for trips outside the city. The base tender budget amounts to €117,325.67 (VAT included) for 176 regional, provincial, regional, and national trips.

The duration of the contract will be four years plus a possible one-year extension, with the base tender budget being 1,198,143 euros (VAT included).

In the Ordinary Plenary Session held last Monday, April 29, the initial approval of the Ordinance Regulating Works and Services in the Public Domain and Use dependent on the Torrevieja City Council was carried out, which has the character of a general regulatory provision, in the exercise of ordinary municipal jurisdiction that regulates the aspects of intervention and control for the drafting and execution of Urbanization Projects and Ordinary Works Projects.

The purpose of this contract is the cleaning of municipal offices and the supply and replacement of hygienic-sanitary containers (gel, toilet paper, hand paper, etc.) in municipal buildings, educational centers and sports facilities.

The overall action will involve an estimated municipal investment of one million euros, and will involve the adaptation and landscaping of this entire space for the enjoyment of citizens.

Thanks to this initiative, the citizens of Torrevieja will be able to learn about the importance of recycling glass and how much each individual contributes with this simple gesture.

With this new work team, the aim is to reinforce control over the service itself and detect breaches by some companies and citizens on a daily basis, and which are included in the Municipal Urban Cleaning Ordinance, with infractions ranging from 50-750 euros.

The Councilor for Urban Cleaning of the Torrevieja City Council, Diana Box Alonso, reports that Acciona, the company awarded the waste collection, landfill transport, street cleaning and coastal cleaning and maintenance service, has already begun the implementation of the new equipment of underground containers to house the remaining fraction.

The research, financed by the Valencian Innovation Agency, focuses on new technologies that improve the control of sludge from purification used for agricultural use
