The site now includes a triage centre and an industrial solid waste landfill located in 12 hectares of land.
Commenting on the project’s expansion, managing secretary of the Union, Fábio Ruppenthal, explained, “At the moment, 68% of the waste is recycled. The rest is sent to the landfill where it is disposed of in closed special ditches built according to Brazilian official standards. Each type of waste is buried in a dedicated ditch and the whole process is carried out according to the most stringent environmental control methods available.”
