Salobrena soon to get a new rubbish depot
A new Punto Limpio (rubbish collection) area is to be built commencing in April 2008 and should be finished by the end of the year. The site will be close to the new cementery in Lobres and will cover an area of 4,414 square metres with a total cost of 524,642.82 euros. The subject of its location has been rather a sticking point with various members of the Town Hall but the Mayor has responded by saying that when the Punto Limpio was approved back in 2005, at that time no other locations were possible. As it now stands, the proposed location is in a good area considering the future necessities of Salobreña and its ease of access to those living in the area. The Punto Limpio is a park full of containers where you will be able to take unwanted furniture, equipment, garden rubbish, scrap metal, tyres, batteries, paints and household electric goods for safe disposal. Does this mean that finally people will stop throwing their rubbish into the roads and ramblas in the area?
