The Teguise City Council urges the Cabildo of Lanzarote to put the Teguise Clean Point into operation. The new infrastructure, requested by the Council from the highest island institution and financed with FEDER funds, has involved the execution of a roundabout to improve traffic safety and access to the facilities located on Avenida del Golf in Costa Teguise.

"We are convinced that the first island Clean Point to be built in Teguise will represent a further qualitative leap for the municipality and for waste management and its environmental commitment, but we ask that the Cabildo of Lanzarote speed up its opening in the face of the growing demand for spaces where waste can be deposited in a controlled manner and thus send the excessive accumulation of belongings in the extensive network of small municipal clean points."

"From the City Council we have made all the resources requested available to the new installation project, as well as the roundabout, while we proceeded to the renovation of more than 20 domestic waste management spaces in the town," says Councilor Eugenio Robayna.

A total of 350 thousand euros have been invested in adapting the outdoor rooms for the deposit of domestic waste, from the Island Cooperation Plan and a municipal project whose objective is to continue improving the management and separation of glass, cardboard and paper, in addition to organic waste.

In this regard, the City Council reminds its citizens that the collection service for belongings is still operational, and that they can call the free telephone number 900 120 190 if they need to throw away furniture, plants or other waste in public spaces, and thus avoid leaving rubble, furniture and other belongings in the middle of the street or in the countryside.
