Orihuela City Council have launched a new street cleaning and plastic recycling initiative, which is hoped will result in cleaner streets and less plastics being sent to landfill.
Councillor Dámaso Aparicio launched the campaign yesterday, calling on all people in the area to contribute to efforts to reduce the volumes of waste sent to dumps across the area or ending up in rivers and the sea.
He highlighted the improvements made over recent years, with the volumes of plastic recycled increasing by over 500% since 2009.
