Underground rubbish containers to be installed soon

Public Works Councillor Fernando Gómez  announced today that work would begin soon on the installation of underground rubbish containers at all the municipality's villages (see exact locations below). This project is included in the Plan E 2010 employment scheme and has a gtotal budget of €222.400. These are the first of this type of container, all of which are aimed at improving the aesthetic value of their location, as well as at bettering public health. The first to be installed will be exclusively for solid urban waste, and others will later be installed for plastic & tins, glass and paper. Locations and costs are as follows:>
Individual village investment has depended on location and needs. There were several factors that had to be taken into consideration when it came to deciding the location. The most difficult was in Jimena's Historic Quarter, where the terrain, the narrow streets and the need to maintain as many parking places as possible.

Installation will be carried out by specialist company Albatros (image from their website), although the final decision as to location was by Arcgisa, which has the rubbish collection concession for the municipality.
