COMMUNITY COMPOSTING
From the natural environment area we participate in a pilot program for the management of biodegradable organic waste in order to obtain a valuable resource, compost, for application in municipal gardening or distribution among participants.
The composting program has been running in the municipal capital since March 2018 with 6 composting islands, being a pioneer in the province of Lugo in the commitment to new waste management models. Community composting encourages citizen participation in municipal initiatives, with altruistic collaboration and the conservation of the natural environment as a philosophy.
This initiative complements the home composting pilot program being developed in Eixón, Cereixa and A Estación.
HOME COMPOSTING
The neighbors who participated in the home composting program They received a free compost bin (with a bucket for organic waste, a stirrer and a thermometer), after training on how to use the compost bin correctly.
