The Ministry of Environment (MA) allowed the acquisition of machinery to improve waste management of the city of Rocha. The investment amounts to US $ 375,000 and is part of the Intendance Support Program to improve home waste management.
Teams of both institutions maintained an exchange instance headed by the Undersecretary of the MA, Oscar Caputi, and the mayor of Rocha, Alejo Umpiérrez, which included the public presentation of the new equipment.
This implies a strengthening of the operational capacities that will allow the Intendance of Rocha to advance in the centralization of the final disposal of waste and consequently in the closing of other landfills.
The department has advanced significantly in improvements in its waste management. In the agreement that the Intendencia de Rocha maintains with the MA there is the commitment to advance with the closure of the uncontrolled landfills and the transfer of all the waste of the department towards the sanitary landfill in the city of Rocha for a disposition in environmentally adequate conditions.
The support of the Central Administration for the improvement in the management of home waste and, as a counterpart, the departmental commitments assumed in this regard imply actions linked to the environmental adaptation of the final disposal sites and the strengthening of operational and planning capacities in each department.
The Undersecretary of Environment, Oscar Caputi, said that "this is part of a state policy, which carries out a new paradigm in the management of urban solid waste, betting on a circular economy (...) has to last over time and we bet that the rest of the intentions continue to advance in this sense."
