The Terra Alta Regional Council has confirmed it is working to recover the management of bulky waste in the region's municipalities, a service currently supplemented by mobile recycling centers. This technical and economic analysis aims to compare models and decide the future of waste management, currently handled by the Consortium for the Management of Municipal Waste of Ribera d'Ebre, Terra Alta, and Priorat.
The latest service contract has led to a significant increase in costs and has shown important management problems.
The proposal has generated political friction with Junts per la Terra Alta, which has labeled the current collection model “inefficient.” The group welcomes the start of the analysis, claiming they had requested it “repeatedly and insistently” from the regional government throughout the mandate.
The governing team of the Regional Council (composed of ERC, PSC, and Movem Terres de l'Ebre) regrets that a “biased perception and confusion” has been generated from an issue they consider consensual. They deny that the improvements are a response to pressure from any political group and criticize Junts' statements for not contributing “to a serene or constructive debate.”
A debate based on data, respect, and responsibility, avoiding discourses that do not reflect the real work being done jointly.
