O aterro é controlado e possui um sistema de coleta e tratamentos de efluentes e chorume através da estabilização em lagoas anaeróbias.este efluente não tem descarte por haver um evaporador mecânicooperando com energia coletada dos gases gerados no aterro.

Long ago in NYC I volunteered at the “Village green recycling Team”, which sadly was lost to a real estate agenda. But I treasure the memory and hope for many more to come.

Bailey Wed, 29 Jul 2009 04:07:52 +0000 http://blog.epa.gov/blog/?p=1011#comment-18322 Recycling is one of the best things we can do for conservation. I am a member of the Board of Directors of our condo homeowner association and we just started a recycling program in cooperation with Waste Management Company and the City of Mission Viejo. We just started it about two months ago until then we didn’t have a program. We have had a problem with some of the residents who don’t speak English that well not knowing what goes into which dumpsters and some construction going on in some condoes where the construction waste was put into the recycling dumpsters and resulted in some being overfilled and contaminated. We had our Board meeting yesterday and the recycling program was a topic covered with the City’s representative for the program. As a result, the recycling dumpsters will be emptied three times a week instead of two. Large informational signs will be put on each recycling dumpster to explain by picture, English, Spanish, and Persian what can and can’t go in the recycling dumpsters. The City is also going to distribute flyers on this to each condo again explaing the system in picture, English, Spanish, and Persian and also distributing large cloth resuable recycling bags to make taking recyclables to the dumpsters easy and with handles on the bottom to make them easy to unload. This is a big step forward in the Cihty’s recycling program and one we hope will be successful for many years. Best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

To protect those one, recycling in small islands or global recycle initiative, would be a valuable contribution to our environmental maritime. May be, we would discover tons and tons of toxicities.

So that number is probably lower today.
