"We have been concerned and concerned about the data recently released by the Commonwealth of San Marcos: Lasarte-Oria selectively collected in 2019 only 45% of urban waste, which puts us in the last furgón," said the members of the platform. "Among the municipalities with a large number of inhabitants, only those of Donostia-San Sebastián have the lowest percentage, around 40%, far from the Gipuzkoa average". An average of 57% of urban waste is collected selectively in this Historical Territory. "We are one of the most embarrassing people in Gipuzkoa, more specifically in Gipuzkoa."

According to Aire Limpia in Lasarte-Oria, selective collection in the Basque Country has been lower than in 2018: two years ago, 46.6%, compared to 45% last year. "We're getting worse and more embarrassing."

"The City Hall is wasting time"

Concerned about the data and the downward trend of Lasarte-Oria, the platform considers that the City Hall "does nothing practical" on the issue of urban waste: "They say beautiful words, but they are wasting time with the question of underground interrogation, as the collection rate is not influenced by the fact that the containers are underground or underground." According to Lasarte-Oria Aire Limpia, practice shows that the underground container system is "very bad": "Expensive in maintenance, contaminant, dirt and rat source... What is not valid must be removed and sufficient."

In the opinion of Aire Limpia, beyond information and awareness-raising campaigns, the City Hall should consider "an effective collection system" to improve rates. "In Gipuzkoa there are many good models; one, we don't care what, and point," he added.

The Zubieta incinerator

"The City Hall is wasting time for an obvious reason: feeding the Zubieta incinerator that can be seen from our people. The economic and political interests of the few are above the citizens' health," the platform has criticized. To support this infrastructure, the platform considers that "everything is worth", "including lies". An example of this is the dumping of Arkaitzerreka and the initiatives and resources of GuraSOS. You can listen to them in detail in the video.

The platform recalled the disaster at the Zaldibar (Bizkaia) landfill. "We have learned a lot, for example, that for the PSE-EE and the PNV we are worth much less than a dozen soccer players the thousands of inhabitants of the municipalities of Lasarte-Oria. Meanwhile, still unopened, the incinerator is in sight, pouring bad fumes."
