- The International Recycling Day has been concentrated in front of the City Hall of Donostia-San Sebastián, called by the Movement Against Incineration, to denounce that throughout Gipuzkoa it is the capital that recycles the least and the most mixed waste generates.
The Donostiarra capital is, according to repeated denunciations of popular movements, the municipality that least recycle in Gipuzkoa. Over the years, things do not improve in a municipality that wants to show itself as an example of tourism and sustainability, and that is why in 2021 on International Recycling Day they have required municipal authorities to solve this unfortunate waste management in the portal of their headquarters.
On International Recycling Day, Donostia is the city that recycles the least in the whole of Gipuzkoa. How long will this situation last? When will measures be taken to ensure the efficient collection of waste? pic.twitter.com/a1ZixkzxKL
