LIPOR and its Associated Municipalities donate 41 thousand euros in equipment, resulting from the selective door-to-door collection project DAR+ (recycle is to give more)
In 2019, LIPOR and Associated Municipalities received 2.722 tons of materials (paper, plastic, glass, green waste and organic waste) resulting from selective door-to-door residential collection.
These values are the result of the municipalities and their citizens effort, to fulfil the goals that were established within the scope of selective door-to-door residential collection projects implementation. Thus, there is an increase in the amount of materials sent to recycle and to compost and, consequently, a reduction in unnecessary consumption of virgin raw materials.
This is a service that belongs to everyone and has an impact on the environment and the community. Depending on the amount of recyclable material received we attribute a benefit to a Social Causes that support the community of each municipality, which is donated in goods.
This year were delivered 41 thousand euros in equipment to the following entities:
- Cruz Vermelha de Espinho;
- Corporações de bombeiros do município de Gondomar;
- Associação Rumo à Vida;
- Lar Missionários do Sofrimento de Águas Santas;
- Somos nós – Associação para autonomia e integração de jovens deficientes;
- Corporação de bombeiros da Póvoa de Varzim;
- Corporações de bombeiros do município de Valongo;
- Corporação de bombeiros do município de Vila do Conde;
In general, individual protection equipment, various orthopedic materials were delivered, as well as equipment to improve the operating conditions of certain beneficiary institutions.
With the motto "Reciclar é Dar +" (Recycling is Giving+), this selective collection scheme is based on a positive approach to people with a proactive door-to-door contact. This specific municipal waste collection system presents both individual (functional and financial) and social benefits: proximity, comfort, sustainability and solidarity.
