Big plastic cleaning
✍ 1 Dec 2021
About 10 or 15 years ago, there was a plastic greenhouse on the vegetable finca (one of my both leased land). They had to demolish the greenhouse. But where to bring all the plastic? Either bringing 50km away to Málaga or throwing in nature. I can understand that the farmers chose the second option. But it's a shame...40 m³ of plastic lay on a beautiful terrace below my land. Yes, 40 m³! Until last week...
Everywhere plastic
A French couple is helping us a lot!
We would like to use this terrace. And without our work, all the plastic would go into the sea over time.
I've read it's very difficult to recycle. I suspect it will be burned in an incinerator at high temperatures.
We bind it on a strong rope...
... and it's rising up! How do we do it? See the following video:
My special invention 😀
We collect the plastic at the entrance of my land...
... and it's growing and growing. But how to get rid of it?
26 Jan 2022: after asking many offices and people, we order a container for 140 €.
To put as much as possible in it we squeeze it with several people.
Some years ago, the farmers didn't need to pay anything. Now 140 € per container. In the company "Nerja Recicla" we heard, it has to be gratis by law. But we didn't find a way. Unfortunately, this means that a lot of plastic is disposed of in nature.
Good bye, plastic, and hopefully never see you again! Thank you to all helpers!
