Recycling is in ruins
Madrid is green, modern, committed to the environment. The suit European regulations with enthusiasm. The taste spread by recycling to the citizens, than they do with their rubbish responsibility to multiply by four or five. The seas, jungles, mountains and the planet are in good hands. A sensible corset rules affecting all waste. Also leftover works. This debris including a toilet looms ever forgotten . But for a year and a half there is something wrong. The more than five million tonnes of construction and demolition debris and not just in the sophisticated plants recycling. Someone, many are cheating. So that Columbral Javier, president of Agescam (Waste Management Association of the Community of Madrid), is "back 20 years in the treatment of waste, because now we throw everything directly into a hole." And that is precisely what is prohibited.

Environmentalists and industry competitors reported, the research community and open records. But nothing has changed in essence. Still others offeredin recent years have discovered more than 70 illegal dumps
What is happening has to do with the crisis. The container truck should go to the dump and pay 10 euros for the treatment of waste. Almost 90% would be reusable. Bricks, rubble, pipes, plastic. But several of these plants let them pass by and throw everything into a pit mixed indiscriminately. Exactly what it did years ago. What not to do and what is sanctioned by multas.Les leave it in return for only four euros. This will ensure that use their facilities. Two landfills are reported Salmedina and Mules in Fuenlabrada. Both (although among them in turn reports have crossed a particular war), they deny. "It's slander," they say in Fuenlabrada. "That is not true. Things fall" Salmedina summary. But the videos and photographs show how the dump truck all at the same site without having previously classified. Dump trucks pass by the-art recycling plant without stopping and go directly to landfills throughout the prosaic life, these extensions earthy with craters that swallow everything they take.
"Any comments, rumors, that such practices exist," concedes Carlos Rivero, the company's Environmental Management of the regional government. "There are many complaints in the industry. The much lower turnover in the crisis, the competition is tremendous, very aggressive," admits Rivero, who recognizes that the Community has opened "many cases". But there is a problem. Skipping earnings are higher than standards involving fines of government.The largest proportion of this type of illegal business is in the Cañada Real. There are several farms surrounded the path that livestock waste is dumped daily at a cost about three euros. Then smoothing the ground and reused. Also, sometimes spills mountains are formed as a slope that is clearly visible from the ring road M-40.
The Ministry Environment said that they do "inspections from time to time" and have "very strict rules." But the rogue seems to have managed to avoid the alleged surveillance so close. In recent years we have discovered more than 70 illegal dumps. Some very sophisticated, as one of Alcalá de Henares, which can be classified as waste plant "illegal." In South Park, among Arganda and Getafe, there are dozens of illegal dumps, some occupying the beds of rivers or in protected areas. Others use abandoned villas and accumulate material until almost completely cover the buildings that are on the farm.
industrial building debris to accumulate. After getting rid of them is going slowly. Even sending them to the neighboring provinces, such as Toledo, popular destination from of this garbage.
who are not recycling the materials to which the law requires to be re-used means that there is a high risk of contamination of groundwater and soil, as corroborated from several environmental associations. The recycling process affects plastics, metals, cardboard, paper, bricks and concrete, among other materials. All these, after treatment, can again used as building materials. On Wednesday the situation came to a roundtable of institutions. "Those who follow the law we are going to ruin!" Cries Columbral, present at the meeting with the Community of Madrid. Administration by the speaker was the General Directorate of Environment, which is receiving complaints, even after the Planning Department's Waste to open the appropriate files."We opened the doors to whoever wants to come see what we do," he says by telephone Salmedina accounting, one of the companies mentioned in a video that has been able to see this newspaper. "The other companies other sector do bad things, they are desperate and want their share of the pie, "said the worker of the plant residues, which believes that business volume as his company (the largest landfill in the region) is very hard to hide that things are going well ".
