WASTE SEPARATION
Eco-Islands
The best way of contributing to the urban environment is correct disposal and handling of rubbish that we produce. Refuse is a problem that affects all of us. InfraQuinta has adopted a new system of depositing urban waste in Quinta do Lago, in the form of Eco-Islands. This will ensure a better quality of life for its residents and preservation of the environment.
Eco-Islands is a recently developed system consisting of underground receptacles that are more hygienic, aesthetic, functional and ecologically friendly.
