Comlurb inaugurates an eco-point in Tavares Bastos, bringing the total to 91 voluntary drop-off points in the city since 2022.

Comlurb inaugurated, this Thursday (November 13th), the Tavares Bastos ecopoint, in the community of the same name, in Catete, in the South Zone. With this, the Company reaches 91 installed units, in all regions of the city, since 2022. The Tavares Bastos unit has a compactor box for receiving household waste and a multi-purpose box, intended for receiving rubble and unusable goods, such as furniture, mattresses and unused appliances, as well as tree branches. The event featured Chegando de Surpresa, a group of sanitation workers who use music and dance in awareness campaigns.

The company also promoted the "Responsible Community" program, providing extra cleaning services to the community, including sweeping, weeding, grass cutting with mechanized equipment, and waste removal. Teams performed hydraulic cleaning using reused water and soap. In addition, Comlurb installed 23 high-capacity containers in the community for the proper disposal of waste.

The company's goal is to reach 100 recycling points by the end of the year. In addition to helping with waste management, recycling points also prevent disease infestation, improving residents' quality of life and public health.

With the opening of recycling centers and the installation of high-capacity containers throughout the city, Comlurb aims to reduce illegal dumping at critical points. Today, the company already accounts for 20% less garbage thrown on the streets, equivalent to about 1.600 tons of waste per day that now have the correct destination.

The president of Comlurb, Jorge Arraes, participated in the inauguration and reaffirmed his commitment to the environmental cause in the city.

– The recycling point is part of the public policy to rationalize and organize collection, with separate equipment for household waste and construction debris. It's important to say that the more we do to reduce the amount of waste going to the landfill in Seropédica, the more important things we are doing at the same time: addressing the environmental issue, because the landfill's lifespan will be longer; improving collection logistics; and reducing the operational cost of the service.
