The Cabildo of Lanzarote, through the campaign "Lanzarote Recycles", presented this Wednesday the two gift checks of 500 euros to the winners of the draw of the awareness project that was developed last year. With this contest, the Island Corporation intended to promote and encourage the correct deposit of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
Among the different lines of action that were carried out within this campaign called "Connected to the Environment", the Cabildo encouraged the recycling and correct deposit of this type of waste in the island's clean points, for subsequent recovery and recovery, with a draw of two checks of 500 euros to exchange for new devices.
Of the 2,000 ballots and disused appliances collected between the clean points, the affiliated establishments and the campaign stand, Juan Guillermo García-Correa Suárez was the winner of this draw, in the category of point of sale, for depositing his waste electrical and electronic equipment at Ferretería Tías. In the clean point category, Gustavo Arbucias won for depositing his old television at the Tías clean point.
Both the clean point and the establishment of the winning ballot also received a gift for the employees who managed that waste. The Councilor of the Biosphere Reserve, Juan Antonio de la Hoz, presented these two checks at the Ferretería de Tías, one of the 16 establishments of different commercial firms attached to this campaign together with Bricoking, Ferrocur, House, Informática Lanzarote, Milar and Muebles San Simón.
The councilor thanked all the firms for their collaboration and recalled that "the 2,000 appliances collected have entered an Integrated Management System, thus ensuring that they will be recycled in a WEEE recycling plant."
