It should be noted the Positive data from the collection 'door to door' in stores, with respect to 2014, and reducing the percentage of improper erroneously deposited the blue and yellow containers doubles.
The level of collection of paper and cardboard in the blue container has been an increase of 34% compared to 2014. Still, the citizen contribution stands at 9 kilograms per capita, when the national average is 14.7 .
As for data on the selective collection of plastic containers (yellow container), the data are similar to those of the previous year, with an average of 7.7 kg / inhabitant, reaching the goal to reach the national average 12.3.
A significant improvement achieved this year has been the considerable reduction in improper.

"This tells us as noted by the Councillor for the Environment, Enrique Fuentes awareness campaigns pay off, if it is necessary to continue taking action to reduce this figure, since these errors, either by ignorance or by mistake, difficult in largely own recycling waste each container ".
Another positive thing is the respect of the collection 'door to door' on board commercial establishments.
The amount collected in local shops will exceed 90 tons, which translates into 54% more than last year.

You know what is improper?
Unfit: we know that name residues that are deposited in a container incorrectly.
Often there is an intentional act, but a mistake made through ignorance or mistake.
While many citizens are already aware of the importance of recycling for environmental protection and strive daily to bring the waste to their corresponding containers, according Ecoembes are still many people put things in the wrong container believing they do right and so they are recycled, but do not know they are actually hindering recycling what really has to go in that container.
The yellow container, which is exclusively for the plastic containers, usually the container in which we find more "mistakes".
Clothing, small appliances, soft toys, pots, pans, cutlery, toys, VHS tapes, CD and DVD disks, coffee capsules, tea bags and infusions, empty blister, plastic cutlery drugs, the role of very dirty aluminum ... containers are not and therefore do not go to yellow container.
In the blue container will never foil, film or dirty napkins.
And we must not throw green porcelain or ceramic.
