Buenos Aires Legislature demands reports on recycling system contracts

The Buenos Aires City Legislature has formally requested detailed reports from the local government regarding contracts related to the city's recycling system. The inquiry focuses on four critical areas: the maintenance of 'Centros Verdes' (Green Centers), the provision of supplies for urban recyclers, the transport of recyclable materials, and the management of the dedicated vehicle fleet.

Legislators are seeking transparency concerning the specific companies or cooperatives awarded these contracts, the total amounts involved, and the duration of the agreements. This move follows reports from residents regarding the closure or limited hours of various Green Centers, as well as complaints from urban recyclers regarding a lack of essential equipment such as gloves, bags, and functional carts.
