Comlurb inaugurates recycling points in Realengo and Jacques Ouriques.

Comlurb inaugurated, this Friday (November 14th), the Realengo eco-point, at Rua Bernardo de Vasconcelos, 1746, and the Jacques Ouriques eco-point, in Padre Miguel, both in the West Zone. With this, the Company reaches 93 installed facilities in all regions of the city since 2022. The two units have a compactor box for receiving household waste and two multi-purpose boxes, intended for receiving rubble and unusable goods, such as furniture, mattresses and unused appliances, as well as tree branches – with the Jacques Ouriques eco-point receiving a third multi-purpose box. The events included Chegando de Surpresa, a group of sanitation workers who use music and dance in awareness campaigns.

The company also promoted the "Responsible Community" program in two communities, Engenho da Rainha and Faz-Quem-Quer, in Rocha Miranda, providing extra support for community cleaning with sweeping, weeding, grass cutting with mechanized equipment, and waste removal services. The teams performed hydraulic cleaning using reused water and soap. In addition, Comlurb installed 23 high-capacity containers in Engenho da Rainha 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 in the city. 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.
