Yes, We Can Canarias demands that the Cabildo “collaborate” with the 31 City Councils of the Island to implement the organic waste container. The counselor Ruth Acosta criticizes that the island government continues “without collaborating to enlarge the map of the brown container for the collection of bio-waste.” Ask for “height of view.”
Acosta reproaches the “wrong” development of an awareness campaign, within the Tenerife More Sustainable program, “in which the types of waste that can be deposited in the waste fraction container are poorly communicated to the public.” He emphasizes that “both domestic organic waste and pruning and gardening are invited to be thrown away, when it is assumed that the latter must be taken separately to clean points.” Acosta also points out that “organic waste is invited to compost, something that could be fine when people can do it in their homes or lands.” However, he points out, “most of them live in flats and the Cabildo still does not commit to collaborate in the implementation of the brown container.” He assures that with this help “in all municipalities the population could deposit their domestic organic waste to be reused.”
A key to promoting separate collection at source is, according to Acosta, that “the collaboration of the Cabildo with the municipalities is not limited to transferring a standard ordinance to them so that they can draft their own.” He concludes: “Other collection channels can also be promoted.”
