Outdated Volta system website indicates 16 municipalities without collection, manager points to five

The "Sistema Volta" packaging deposit and return system presents a discrepancy between the information available on its website and the data from the system operator. While the website search indicates that 16 municipalities do not have collection points or kiosks for packaging delivery, the system operator claims that only five municipalities have no collection. The situation raises questions about the updating and accuracy of the information provided to consumers regarding the delivery points for deposit-bearing packaging.
