Promoting the decentralised management of construction and demolition waste

This good practice consists of decentralising the treatment of construction and demolition waste generated in the Sierra de Cádiz district. Given the dispersed areas over which this waste is generated and the geography of the area, the treatment and exploitation of this waste needs to be decentralised. To this end, a mobile sorting and crushing plant has been set up, which is set to move between four management sites strategically located within the community of municipalities.

Each site will provide service to an area which will be determined by its geographic proximity. The management site boasts a platform and a warehouse for accumulating debris from nearby municipalities. The mobile plant will move periodically to each site to treat accumulated debris and turn it into sand and gravel marked for building new rural roads and restoring existing roads in the district, among other things. It will manage both private and municipal debris.

For the latter, collection skips have been made available and distributed among the smaller municipalities of the Sierra, which do not have permanent recycling collection centres. Citizens will be able to bring debris from works not subject to a municipal license to the skips. Once full, the municipal collection service will take them to the nearest collection point.
