The Comsermancha Consortium continues to promote its environmental commitment, this time with the installation of specific containers for the collection of domestic oil. The municipality of Herencia does not want to be left behind and already has 8 of these containers distributed in different locations in the town.
The mayor, Sergio García-Navas, and councilor Aitor Gallego de la Sacristana, representative of Herencia in Comsermancha, met this morning at one of the places where this innovative container is already operational. One notable feature of these containers is their bottom tray, specially designed to prevent possible oil spills. However, citizens are reminded that the oil should be deposited using plastic bottles, avoiding glass.
These containers are located along the current lines where other containers are already placed, including the recycling point. The company Green Ambiental, responsible for the management of the service, will collect the contents of these containers every 20 days. “The collection frequency will be evaluated based on the amount of liters deposited in the containers, which have a capacity of 100 liters,” explained Aitor Gallego de la Sacristana.
The Comsermancha Consortium has extended this service to the 21 associated municipalities and the towns of Alameda de Cervera and Cinco Casas. The main purpose is to collect domestic oil and reuse it for the production of asphalt bitumen and biodiesel. It is alarming to think that each individual wastes up to 3 liters of used oil, capable of contaminating over 40,000 liters of water, emphasizing the vital importance of this recycling process.
Gallego de la Sacristana called on the population of Herencia, urging residents to take advantage of these containers. “Avoiding the pouring of oil into the sewerage system not only prevents problems in the water we consume, but also contributes significantly to protecting the environment,” said the councilor. With actions like this, Comsermancha and the municipality of Herencia reaffirm their commitment to a sustainable future.
