Green disaster! Garden waste being sent 50km for disposal By Costa Blanca South reporter Gemma Quinn GARDEN waste overspill in Orihuela Costa is now ‘bursting at the seams’. That’s according to political party CLARO, which is questioning Orihuela City Hall’s new ‘environmentalists’ dream solution to the problem of garden waste’. Instead of it being transported for disposal to Crevillente 50 kilometres away, it should be collected and transported to San Pedro del Pinatar to be transformed into pellets for energy production or fertiliser and sold. CLARO claimed the site was closed and garden waste has been accumulating for weeks without being processed. President of CLARO Bob
Houliston said: “The consequence is that Orihuela Costa garden waste has to be transported once again to Crevillente, 50 costly kilometres away. But since the council is not willing to pay for the transport of all
the garden waste created in Orihuela Costa, much of it is allowed to accumulate in the streets for weeks.” Councillor for the Coast Martina Scheurer said waste had stopped being taken to San Pedro because the site refused to accept it.
