The Cabildo of Fuerteventura, through its Waste department, has approved the award of works for the adaptation of the Zurita Environmental Complex for an amount close to 3 million euros. This action is part of the Insular Waste Plan and represents a significant investment in the renewal of existing infrastructure.

The president of the island council, Lola García, highlighted the importance of this investment, stating that the institution is allocating over 40 million euros to the comprehensive improvement of waste management and treatment on the island. The works at Zurita are considered one of the most significant actions in the plan, aiming to boost recycling and management efficiency.

For his part, the Minister of Waste, Enrique Pérez, explained that the current facilities of the Zurita Environmental Complex require an update to handle the volume of waste generated in Fuerteventura. The project, with an execution period of eight months, includes the improvement of electrical and telecommunications networks, comprehensive urbanization, the installation of a new, more efficient public lighting system, and the renovation of the pavement on the access road and within the complex.

Furthermore, the intervention includes the optimization of the general water supply network, crucial for the complex's operations, and the provision of a hydrant network and a new reservoir to enhance fire prevention measures.

Enrique Pérez also emphasized the Waste Department's commitment to the continuous improvement of infrastructure throughout the island. He noted that these advancements, combined with increasing public awareness, maintain Fuerteventura as the island with the highest growth in recycling rates.
