Areas of Influence
Adapted Work Plans
The management model for Solid Urban Waste (RD) in Castilla-La Mancha (CLM) has been defined in various specific management plans developed since 1999, in response to the characteristics of population distribution in the region. The system opts for grouped solutions for waste management services to allow for cost redistribution.
In this way, the Autonomous Community is divided, for this type of waste, into eight Waste Management Areas (AGES). Each of them groups together a set of municipalities that share a common system for the final treatment of their waste: the CTRU, which includes a sorting plant, composting facility, and, if necessary, a final landfill for the rejection from selective processes.
Nearby municipalities bring their waste to Transfer Stations. These are facilities where waste is stored in much larger containers, which, after compaction, are transported to the treatment center. They serve as a temporary transportation element between municipal collection services and CTRUs.
The Waste Management Areas (AGES) are further subdivided into UNIONS, which are formed by the grouping of municipalities whose waste collection converges at a Transfer Station (ET).
In this way, waste treatment operations are located in the CTRUs, created for this purpose and managed by consortia or associations of public administrations (AAPP), allowing for precise control of their activity.
