The rubbish (garbage) produced in homes -also called \"Solid Urban Waste\" (SUW)- is a potential source of energy and raw materials that can be exploited through suitable treatment.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Each person generates an average 620 kilos of rubbish a year. It is estimated that 65% can be exploited through recycling, the rest going to landfills or incinerators.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

In order to recycle, the materials need to be separated at source. The consumer is a key element in ensuring that the whole process functions.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
<\/div>\r\n\r\n

There are often other containers and collection services for batteries, medicaments, cloth, furniture, household appliances and other items that have reached the end of their working life.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

<\/div>\r\nTo facilitate selective collection, use the coloured containers, identifying where each waste material should go:\r\n\r\n
    \r\n\t
  • Yellow container:<\/span><\/strong> packaging of the Tetra-Brik type, plastic bottles and metal cans, plastic packaging.<\/li>\r\n\t
  • Blue container:<\/span><\/strong> paper and cardboard.<\/li>\r\n\t
  • Green container:<\/span><\/strong> organic waste (general).<\/li>\r\n\t
  • Igloo-type green container:<\/span><\/strong> glass.<\/li>\r\n\t
  • Brown container:<\/span><\/strong> cooked and uncooked vegetable waste, nuts, bread, biscuits, paper with food remains, etc.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

      \r\n\t
    • For each tonne of glass recycled, 1,200 kg of raw materials and 130 kg of fuel are saved.<\/li>\r\n\t
    • Each tonne of paper recycled avoids 14 trees being cut down, and also 50,000 litres of water and over 300 kg of oil.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
