Bins in Alhaurín de la Torre
Bins in Málaga
After approving a motion from the local Spanish Socialist party on the 21st of this month, the Alhaurín town council are going to do a study as to which areas it is viable to install new underground rubbish bins. If you’re wondering what they look like, then take a look at the photos on the right. They are very futuristic looking and have several advantages over the normal, unsightly and smelly green waste bins that can be seen on the streets. This new type of rubbish disposal can be seen in Coín, Alhaurín de la Torre and Málaga. Some of the benefits are:
-
They promote recycling (thus benefitting the environment)
-
It is easier to choose where to put each type of rubbish
-
Bad odours are significantly reduced and suppressed
-
They take up less space
-
They are not as susceptible to vandalism
-
They cost less to maintain
At the council meeting it was suggested that studies be undertaken to first see which areas in the town centre it is physically possible to install such bins as well as the system in which they operate. As for new urbanizations being built, this type of rubbish disposal will be the decision and cost of the promoters. It looks as if Alhaurín is finally moving into the 21st century!
