Because the Laguna Verde landfill north of Los Angeles is receiving household waste from Ancud, it was requested to audit whether the above is within the legal norm.
The request will be directed to the Seremi de Salud, to find out if this operation is within the legal framework, if the regulations for this transfer of garbage to our commune are being met and also if the landfill has the capacity to receive this waste from Ancud, without generating a greater impact on the Los Angeles community.
Councilor Paola Ortiz, told La Radio that it is necessary to audit the above, since Although it is a matter between private parties, it is possible that the garbage collection site could collapse and could generate a health problem for the commune.
He regretted that the request to express dissatisfaction with this situation to the municipality of Ancud has not been accepted.
If this happens, Ortiz considered that it is a serious matter, since they would have to find a place to take the garbage, which would imply an expense for the municipality.
From the company KDM Treatment, owner of the sanitary landfill, it was indicated in a written statement that since January 2021 The Laguna Verde landfill has received household waste from Ancud, totaling 1,581 tons To the date.
