Observador27 August 2026 at 18:40

An investigation reveals discrepancies between the data on the Volta System website and SDR's statements regarding collection points: while the site indicates 16 municipalities without any collection point, the responsible entity claims it is only five. The case of Oleiros is particularly illustrative, with the local mayor directly contradicting SDR, stating that there is no machine in the municipality and that the nearest collection point is 50 kilometers away.
