During an inspection of the Santa Eduvigis landfill, located in La Guaira, by the Sectorial Vice President of Public Works and Services, Juan José Ramírez, together with regional authorities, the processing scheme for more than 2.1 million tons of debris, generated by the double seismic event of last June 24, was verified.

In this regard, it was known that for classification and shredding, the collected waste is transferred to temporary distribution centers, where it is processed using mechanical trains.

As for safe storage, the resulting material is distributed in a controlled manner on two specially conditioned terraces, measuring 5 and 6 hectares, inside the sanitary landfill.

Ramírez explained that much of the crushed debris will be used to generate cast gravel; an input that will be directly reincorporated into the entity's national housing plan.

He also highlighted that the Ministry of Popular Power for Ecosocialism and the Government of La Guaira maintain a strict monitoring protocol to prevent the informal discharge of waste to the coasts and protect the ecosystem.

More than 41,000 cubic meters of debris have been removed from Caraballeda, with the uninterrupted execution of debris and solid waste removal, through a rigorous technical plan that to date accounts for 41,980 cubic meters between ferrous material and concrete, transferred to a waste disposal center located in the area.

Crews and specialized personnel, including a team of 511 workers, who have been operating on strategic fronts activated since the first day of the seismic contingency.

The days include painstaking and highly coordinated work, with heavy air machinery.
