Loulé promotes awareness campaign to improve the environment in the public space

In a clear commitment to improving the public space and in an appeal for the correct disposal of waste, Loulé City Council has an ongoing awareness and information campaign with its citizens.

One of the main points of this initiative already underway is the placement of exterior cladding in the moloks of the urban centres of Loulé, Quarteira, Almancil and Boliqueime, which contains some information on how to dispose the waste in these places, as well as some tips for preserving the environment, particularly at the level of recycling, also appealing to the rules for cleaning the streets and the area surrounding the containers.

In a second phase, the Municipality will create totems next to other solid urban waste disposal points, namely garbage containers, especially in the most peripheral areas, keeping the same information and awareness message for the maintenance of clean spaces.

The sending of flyers with information next to the water bills, as well as the disclosure in the bulletins of the parish councils, the municipal agenda or social networks and the site of the municipality have been other vehicles to disseminate the ideas inherent to this project.
