📋 Tender Overview
The intervention is co-financed by KfW and seeks to reduce the visual and health impact in urban areas.The Ministry of the Environment (MINAM), through Executing Unit 003: Comprehensive Management of Environmental Quality (UE 003: GICA), continues to promote the modernization of solid waste management in the Arequipa region with the implementation of underground containers in different districts of the city.
As part of the first advance, 6 double-body underground containers are being installed and delivered in strategic points, highlighting their implementation in the districts of Cayma, Jose Luis Bustamante and Rivero, including the oval of Dolores Avenue and Coritos Park.
In total, the project has an investment of more than S/ 213 thousand and includes the installation of 15 underground structures in seven districts: Cayma, Jose Luis Bustamante y Rivero, Mariano Melgar, Miraflores, Sachaca and Tiabaya. These facilities have configurations that incorporate 1100 liter containers, optimizing the storage capacity and efficiency of the public cleaning service.
The main objective of this technology is to reduce the visual impact generated by the accumulation of waste on the surface, as well as to minimize the proliferation of vectors, contributing to improving environmental quality and sanitary conditions for the population.
In this regard, the general coordinator of UE 003: GICA, Miguel Calapuja Ccori, said: The implementation of underground containers represents an important step towards modern and efficient management of solid waste. This system not only improves the urban environment, but also strengthens sanitary conditions for the direct benefit of citizens.
Once this phase is completed, the hydraulic couplings will be installed in the compactor units, which will allow the appropriate and efficient use of this technology, guaranteeing its correct operation within the waste management system.
With these actions, MINAM reaffirms its commitment to promoting sustainable and innovative solutions that contribute to comprehensive solid waste management, for the benefit of public health and environmental care.
