Figure 3 shows the profile of waste delivered to the transfer stations for treatment, reuse and final disposal. It is necessary to consider that the presence of small-scale sidewalk recycling operators holds an added value but reduces the recyclable waste registered at the transfer stations. With regard to construction and loulky waste, debris volumes delivered to the two municipal dumps increased by 2.3 times between 2012 and 2015, reflecting a strong growth of real estate constructions (Infographic 8).
