Citizens in their everyday life, both in homes and in stores, generates lots of different types of waste. A standard domestic garbage bag consists of: organic matter: 37%; paper and cardboard: 21%; plastic: 16%; glass: 7%; others: 19%. It is very important to know what the waste generated on how to treat them and to increase the use of what is discarded, in order to have the least impact on the environment.
Many materials that are thrown in the trash can be reused: it can be recycled. This means savings of raw materials and energy, as well as a decrease in the amount of garbage and greater environmental protection.
The collection is the key to solving part of the problem generated waste and both households and establishments Granollers, have a role in the separation of waste generated in the city and, therefore, improving the environment.
