El investigation process of this project recurrimos several people related to waste management, particularly in the municipality of La Coruña. From city hall we have the invaluable support of F. Javier Ramírez Núñez, a biologist and technical adviser to the area's environment City of La Coruna, who gave us important information to define the situation as regards the management of domestic fats in the city of La Coruña. The information presented below is the result of two meetings held during the months of October and November 2010.
El investigation process of this project recurrimos several people related to waste management, particularly in the municipality of La Coruña. From city hall we have the invaluable support of F. Javier Ramírez Núñez, a biologist and technical adviser to the area's environment City of La Coruna, who gave us important information to define the situation as regards the management of domestic fats in the city of La Coruña. The information presented below is the result of two meetings held during the months of October and November 2010.
From the moment we are interested in the amount of domestic fats that occur and the various management systems. In La Coruña there is an average volume of 6 liters per capita per year. These wastes are managed through municipal facilities, which so far are three recycling centers, one located in the neighborhood of Eirís , one in Los Rosales and a mobile has begun to run just a month ago in the neighborhood of the mesh, with a view to spread to other areas of the city. You can get the necessary information in the phone number 010 (information of the council). In this case, it is necessary that the city employees about the recycling center to deposit used oil that is produced at home and in this way, the city puts in the hands of an authorized company that adds value and gets a return. Note that in this process, the council does not trade (or charge or pay) to the collection and use of waste as it is the recipient company which in any case, you get a market value from waste. Urban fats are separated at source are not all the waste produced. Of all the oil that occurs in homes, the plant water extracted from sewage 600 metric tons of oil per year, representing a total of 650,000 liters of refined oil. The price of debugging, € 390 per metric ton of fat removed and this requires an expenditure of € 234,000 a year just to separate oil from water. If we make the calculation of expenditure for five years, we see that not so long that period is spent in this process over a million euros of public funds in the extraction of fat from the water. Since the council, confirms that the source separation is an advantage, since the management of waste through source separation and its implementing a plan for this purpose would start spending money like the cleaning for a year, but they are elements that must be renewed every year, which would not have to reinvest the same amount the following year. In any case, higher profitability is not on the money saved, which is in itself significant, but in many other issues, such as the revaluation of the residue (means less spending by getting rid of the treatment and therefore fewer intermediaries ), or improving the environmental quality of the city and its immediate surroundings.
The current plan fat collection domestic, involved five key players. The first is citizenship and its implication in the selective collection of waste. In La Coruna have reached, according to the council, citizen cooperation rates in terms of source separation of 85% of the population, which is now approximately 60% of the population that works with this type of initiative: which is not perfect, but is above average, which means that in La Coruña there is an interest and public concern about managing waste properly. And according to the data, over half the population is willing to cooperate and make it somehow. The second actor is the council , who was not the owner of the waste (hence you can not trade this) acts as custodian and manager instead of the citizen. Another important element is the water company that manages the work of purification and waste water discharge ( EMALCSA ), a 100% owned by the municipality. The company carrying out the collection of domestic garbage in the neighborhoods is Albada, which manages the separation plant located in Nostián , and finally we have the authorized agent that collects used oil collection points and as you can reach through other channels Nostián and takes him to process and market, this company called Environmental Protection (WFP ).
As for the collection, it should be noted that there are companies that make environmental policy by collecting oil, as can be, in our case, the Eroski supermarket . The oil obtained in this way is collected directly by PMA. No direct economic benefit derived from this action and pay for the waste they collect.
As to the question of why in La Coruña not carried out specific plans for the collection of domestic fats, taking in mind that other cities have implemented, Javier explains that each city represents many new features that make it unique, such as the siting of the streets and transportation difficulties, or the difficulty of the installation a waste container for more. For the installation of domestic oil containers, these should be well built, with tight, keeping a good appearance to avoid creating a harmful impact on the urban landscape, with a structure from vandalism and something that is interesting, being in a safe place, then oil, after a certain amount, is considered hazardous waste to a combustion. For all these reasons, La Coruña is a new challenge for waste management in every step forward, however, never rule out the possibility of implementing a reform or improving the existing system, it is always a benefit to everyone.

From the beggining we are interested in the amount of domestic fats that occur at the various management systems. In La Coruña there is an average volume of 6 liters per capita per year. These wastes are managed through municipal facilities, which so far are three recycling centers, one located in the neighborhood of Eirís , another in Los Rosales and a mobile one that has begun to run just a month ago in the neighborhood of Los Mallos in order to spread to other parts of the city. You can get the necessary information in the phone number 010 (information of the council). In this case, it is necessary that the city employees about the recycling center to deposit used oil that is produced at home and in this way, the city puts it in hands of an authorized company that adds value and gets a return from this. Note that in this process, the council does not trade (not charge nor pay) for collection and use of waste as it is the recipient company which in any case, gets a market value from waste. Urban fats which are separated at source are not all the waste produced.

For the installation of domestic oil containers, these should be well built, with tight, keeping a good appearance to avoid creating a harmful impact on the urban landscape, with a structure over vandalism and something that is interesting, being in a safe place, because the oil from a fixed quantity is considered a hazardous waste, because of combustion danger. For all these reasons, La Coruña is a new challenge for waste management in every step forward, however, council never rules out the possibility of implementing a reform or improving the existing system, it is always a benefit to everyone.

In the process of investigating this project appealed to several people related to waste management, particularly in São Paulo. Since the mayor of this city, we have the invaluable support of F. Javier Ramirez Núñez, a biologist and technical adviser to the area's environment city of São Paulo, which provided us with important information to define the situation, nor on the management of domestic fats in the city of São Paulo. The information set out below and the result of two meetings held during the months of October and November 2010.
From the first moment, the amount of interesámonos domestic fats that are produced as well as the different management systems. In Sao Paulo it produces an average of 6 liters per inhabitant per year. These residues xestiónanse through municipal facilities, which so far are cleaned three points, one located in the neighborhood of EIRIS , another in Los Rosales a mobile which began operating only a month ago in the neighborhood of Los Mallos in order to spread the Putra zonasda city. You can get the necessary information for the phone number 010 (information the municipality). In this case, we need to collaborate citizens approaching the point to record clean used oil that is produced at home and in this way, the city puts in the hands of a licensed company that reassesses and receives an income. It is worth noting that in this case, the city would not change (not charge or pay) to the collection and use of the residue, because the company is receiving for that in any case, you get a market value of it from waste. The fats that separate urban in origin is not the totality of the waste produced. From all that oil that is produced in homes, extráense of purifying 600 tons of fat from the sewerage network, representing a total of 650,000 litrosde oil debugged. The price of debugging involves an expenditure of € 390 per metric ton of fat extracted, and this represents an expense of € 234,000 per year sopor separates oil from water. If facemo the calculation of expenses for five years, we can see that in a time not so long, it takes this process more than one million euros dasarcas public in the extraction of fat from the water. Since the council, confirmed that the source separation is an advantage because the management of waste through separation at source and implementation of a plan to this effect would represent an initial spending similar to the price of clearance for a year, but this is evidence that no to renew each year, so that there would reinverti'la same amount the following year. Anyway, the higher profitability is not the money saved, which are significant of his, but in many other issues, including recovery of waste (which means less spending in giving up the clearance and, therefore, fewer intermediaries) or to improve environmental quality of the city and its surroundings more immediate.
The current plan for the collection of household fats, five principal actors involved. The first is citizenship and involvement in this separate collection. In Sao Paulo has obtained, according to the municipality, rates of cooperation from citizens in separation at source of 85% of the population now having about 60% of the population to collaborate with such initiatives, which is not perfect, but it is above average, which means that in Sao Paulo there is an interest and concern of citizens for waste manage them adequately. And according to the data, more than half the population is willing to cooperate and make it somehow. The second actor is the county be be the owner of the residue (this will not be possible to market with this one) acts as a depository and manager instead of the citizen. Another item important is the water company that manages the tasks of purification and sewage spills ( EMALCSA ), a company 100% owned by the municipality. The company that carries out waste collection in several neighborhoods is Albada, which administers the separation unit located in Nostián, and finally, we have the authorized manager, who collects used oil in clean spots, as well as that can reach Nostián by other means and takes to process it and market it, this company called Environmental Protection (WFP ).
The collection is worth noting that there are companies that for its environmental policy to carry oil collection, as can be, in this case, the Eroski supermarket . The oil obtained in this way is collected directly by PMA. Obtain any direct economic benefit of this action does not pay for that collect the waste.
As to the question of why in São Paulo did not carry out plans específicosde grease collection at home, given that in other cities if you have deployed, Javier Ramírez explicounos that each city represents several new features that make it unique, as can if the actual construction of streets, and transport difficulties, or difficulty is the installation of a container to a waste anymore. In case of installation of oil containers home, they must be well constructed, with tight, keeping an appropriate appearance in order not to impact the urban landscape, have an anti vandalism and something that is interesting, being in a safe place because the oil from an amount, considered a hazardous waste before combustion. For all these reasons, St. Paul represents a new challenge for waste management in every step we advance, however, never rule out the possibility of implementing a reform or improving the existing system, as it always means a benefit for everyone.
The city released several documents that can be consulted on the Internet in pdf format and available for anyone wishing to consult them:
