Since last year the technical workshop on alternatives to the burning of agricultural pruning waste was held in the Murcia City Council, in which LIFE SARMIENTO was presented, the implementation of different municipal initiatives to prevent illegal burning has taken place.
Among them, the pilot initiative launched by the Murcia City Council for the collection of fruit pruning waste joins others taken previously, such as the agreement signed with the Asaja agricultural association, which has allowed farmers to chop their prunings free of charge on their agricultural plots, which shows that there is a growing awareness of the dangers of burning pruning waste.
During the three months since the launch of the municipal initiative, the container has already collected 45,200 kilos of remains of agricultural pruning in ten districts with the aim of avoid emissions of polluting gases into the atmosphere.
