Forty-nine 6th grade students from SEK
Santa Isabel visited the Municipal Waste
Collection and Street Cleaning Park in
Pozuelo de Alarcón managed by FCC
Medio Ambiente.
During their visit, students had the
opportunely of learning about the
environmental aspects of solid urban waste
collection and witness the collection and
subsequent treatment of waste.
They learned first-hand how to sort waste
and where they should deposit common
items such as paper, cardboard, glass and
special ones such as batteries and oil. They
also visited the Punto Limpio (disposal site),
a great example of the environmental
awareness of the residents of Pozuelo de
Alarcón.
The students also had the opportunity to
tour the machinery park and get a close-up
look of the vehicles that FCC uses to collect
waste; automatic side-loading trucks
running on natural gas which are less
polluting and noisy than conventional
trucks.
Roberto Pérez Martín, foreman at the
Pozuelo de Alarcón waste collection and
cleaning service, was in charge of explaining
visit the Municipal Waste Collection and Street
Cleaning Park in Pozuelo de Alarcón
