With the implementation of the Door-to-Door in Aragón, four municipalities immediately reach the recycling of 71%

  • Determined to implement this system for the first time in Aragon, their waste has just begun to be collected from Ate to Ate in four municipalities in the region of Matarraña. The local media reported that the officials of the municipalities of Peñarroya de Testavins, Monroyo, Fuentespada and Torre de Arcas were surprised by the results of the new system: although they initially expected to reach 51% in the thematic collection, they exceeded 71% by the fourth week.

According to the media outlet La Comarca, in addition to the good recycling rate, the quality of the collection has also been underscored by those responsible. Specifically, the soils mixed (improper) in the organic waste collected from Puerta a Puerta have not exceeded 2%, precisely when the collection of the organic is carried out in large containers sold on the street (let’s not say recycling is optional) the coarse ones that carry them mixed are much more abundant.

In the region of Matarranya, ruled by the PSOE and PAR, and these are the ones who have launched the system in four municipalities. "We weren't expecting such a good data. People have responded very well and we hope to launch more municipalities in the Porta a Porta system next year," said Rafael Marti, President of the Region. In the region of Matarranya, Catalan is the local language, so call the system Porta a Porta also in this region of Aragon.
