The Unified Association of Civil Guards (AUGC) in Las Palmas has denounced "a new breach by the Civil Guard of Costa Teguise", for using its facilities as a "solid waste warehouse" of "a private company". Specifically, they have indicated that it is "innumerable safes of those used in hotel complexes".
In a statement, the AUGC has reported that "since February" the Civil Guard of Costa Teguise is "infringing Law 22/2011 on Waste", since they are using "the parking lots, corridors and garages" of "said barracks" to store the waste. In this sense, they have pointed to the "company Recuperadora Lanzarote S.L.U.", since "at least on two occasions, many of these safes have been transferred from the Civil Guard Barracks in a vehicle with labeling" of said company "by two operators to its facilities on Avenida de Los Mármoles, in Arrecife", they added in the writing. The AUGC has added that, in particular, "a quantity close to 4,000 kilograms of safe waste was transferred, for which Recuperadora Lanzarote paid 3 euro cents per kilo as ‘Small Iron’".
In this sense, they have assured that the infraction has occurred both "by the company ‘producing waste’, and by the person who has performed the functions of ‘negotiator’". Thus, the "economic sanctions they could face range for serious infractions from 901 to 45,000 euros", they explained from the association of Civil Guards.
That is why this association, to which "more than half of the current staff of Civil Guards in the province are affiliated", informed the General Chief of the Civil Guard in the Canary Islands and the Colonel Chief of Las Palmas of this situation at the Costa Teguise barracks. Likewise, the AUGC has explained that the Mr. Captain Chief of the Lanzarote Company also "has knowledge, since he was the one who ordered the safes to be placed in the corridors and the garage of the Barracks, a task that was carried out by several agents". However, the group of Civil Guards has stressed that it is unaware of "the reasons" why these wastes were stored in "official facilities", so it has "urged the highest authorities of the Civil Guard in the Canary Islands to carry out the corresponding investigation".
