With the aim of increasing waste collection capacity and improving the urban image, Moita City Council is reconverting some collection points in the municipality, by replacing existing containers, using for the first time Green Bee underground containers, from Lasso.
At the moment, the conversion covers two recycling banks – also called “ecological islands”. The first has already been installed, on Rua Dr. Alexandre Sequeira, next to Largo do Mercado, where the existing containers were replaced by Green Bee underground containers. The recycling bank consists of seven containers, three for the selective collection of glass, paper and packaging, and four for mixed waste, with a hydraulic system, one of the latter of which will soon be adapted to collect bio-waste.
The second recycling bank will soon be installed in another part of the town, at the intersection of Rua D. Pedro II and Rua dos Descobrimentos, where the new Green Bee underground containers will replace the old surface containers existing there.
