The Junta de Freguesia de Urra, in the municipality of Portalegre, publicly expressed its indignation at the illegal disposal of waste outside the containers intended for garbage collection. The local authority used social media to publish photographs highlighting the situation, showing a collection point where waste was abandoned on the ground and the contents of the bins themselves were scattered across the surrounding area.
The post made by the Junta de Freguesia aimed to draw the attention of the population to this problem, appealing to the civic duty of the residents of the parish. The local authority emphasized that it is essential for citizens to correctly use the available containers and assume responsibility for the proper sorting and disposal of their waste.
This type of behavior harms not only the aesthetics and hygiene of the public space, but also represents an additional cost for the waste management of the parish. The Junta de Freguesia de Urra hopes that raising awareness through these images may lead to a change in attitude among residents.
