A new container has burned this Thursday in Arrecife, specifically on Pérez Galdós street, at the entrance of the Hiperdino in Valterra.

The firefighters have traveled there to put out the fire, which affected a glass container and which, according to witnesses, did not spread to another organic waste container that was next to it thanks to a citizen who separated it.
