The Office of Environment of Consell de Formentera, in collaboration with Ca Na Negreta, the public limited company charged with removing and managing hazardous waste, is launching a campaign to remove fibre cement from local homes. Interested parties have until 19 May to register at the OVAC.

The Consell subsidises the costs of removal and of the special sacks used to transport the material. Service recipients must pay an associated fee according to the type and volume of waste removed.

Legislation on waste and contaminating soils for a circular economy which was promulgated 8 April of last year (Ley 7/2022) requires that fibre cement be removed and decontaminated. The latter must be done according to a specific safety protocol. "Given the process must be done in a controlled manner, it is important that authorised centres perform the removal", explained Antoni Tur, environment councillor.

For more information, visit the Office of Environment (Àrea de Medi Ambient) at Carrer Mallorca, 15 (Baixos) in Sant Ferran, or contact the office by phone (971 32 12 10) or e-mail (medioambient@conselldeformentera.cat).
