The Teixeira Brandão Ecopoint is the sixth that Comlurb has opened this year in the city - Disclosure Comlurb will open this Tuesday (8/8), at 9 am, the Teixeira Brandão Ecopoint, in the Juliano Moreira Colony, in Taquara, in Jacarepaguá. This is the sixth ecopoint of the 25 planned for this year – the other five are: Costa Barros; Praia da Rosa, in Tauá, and Boogie Woogie, in Pitangueiras, both on Governador Island; Nova Esperança, in Gardênia Azul; Embratel Complex, in Manguinhos.
The ecopoint is the largest ever built by Comlurb, with five boxes, two compacting boxes for household waste, two smaller stationary boxes and a large dumpster for rubble, branches and useless goods, such as unused furniture and appliances.
The new space will be open 24 hours a day, from Monday to Sunday, and will serve the population of the communities of Dois Irmãos, Entre Rios, Campo do XV, Área Verde and the colony itself. The Chegando de Surpresa group, formed by street cleaners who compose and sing songs to raise awareness about the correct disposal of waste, will be participating in the inauguration.
In addition to the ecopoints, Comlurb opened a Voluntary Waste Delivery Point in the Nova Divinéia community, in Grajaú, in July, with two boxes to receive waste.
The Company is committed to renovating and installing new recycling points in several areas of the city, especially in areas with the highest risk of irregular waste disposal. In this way, Comlurb ensures that previously degraded locations now have organized waste disposal points, with regular removal by trucks. In addition to being essential for organizing waste, recycling points help control vectors and improve public health.
In 2022, 20 ecopoints were opened: Vagão and Vila Jurema, in Realengo; Santo Amaro, in Catete; Madureira, under the Negrão de Lima Viaduct; Mineira, in Catumbi; communities of Vigário Geral and Parada de Lucas; Amarelinho, in Irajá; Novo Lar, in Recreio; Camarista Méier, in Engenho de Dentro; Mangueira; on Paranapuan Avenue, at the height of Morro do Dendê; Vila Joaniza, Parque Royal and Pixunas, on Governor's Island; Sá Viana, on the street of the same name in Grajaú; Arará, in Benfica; Merendiba, in Penha; Juramento, in Vicente de Carvalho; and Fogueteiro, in Rio Comprido.
